God chose Jonah to be His bearer of grace to a people that most believed they did not deserve it. Jonah looked for every reason to go in the opposite direction. But before we are too hard on Jonah’s reluctance, we need to look at our own reluctance to share the love of God with people we see as dangerous or deserving of judgment. We want God to bless the good people and curse the bad people; but are any of us deserving of blessing?
