LISTEN TO JESUS!
Jonah, who was from Galilee like Jesus, was sent by God to tell the
people of Nineveh, a very brutal, wicked enemy of Israel to
“SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT” [Jnh 1:2 GN]. After initial
disobedience involving a great fish, when Jonah obeyed God and
told the people of Nineveh what God told him to say, they turned
from their sins. Jesus contrasted His listeners to the people of
Nineveh who “TURNED FROM THEIR SINS WHEN THEY
HEARD JONAH PREACH” and Jesus points out that He is
“GREATER THAN JONAH” [Lk 11:32 GN]{Mt 12:41} and yet
they are not listening to Jesus and turning from their sins. Do you
listen to Jesus and turn from your sins?
