Jonah,
Chapter 1, verse 9-10:
9 “I
am a Hebrew,” he replied; “I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made
the sea and the dry land.” 10Now the men were seized with great fear and
said to him, “How could you do such a thing!”—They knew that he was fleeing
from the LORD, because he had told them.
Jonah as wise as he was tried to
flee the Lord, are we any wiser. We often choose the wrong path. Jonah was
motivated but not by love. He wanted justice and not mercy for Nineveh. Pope
Francis in a dispute recently stated that mercy is greater than justice when
confronted with the sins of mankind and the churches stance. Our Lord desires
to give us his mercy and we should seek it and give it as often as possible.
