If we are not telling others about Christ, we are not living a Christian life.

  1. GOD SPEAKS A SECOND TIME (Jonah 3:1)
  1. Almost the same words as 11
  2. God does not upbraid Jonah; He simply speaks to Jonah again
  1. GOD'S WILL DOES NOT CHANGE (Jonah 3:2)
  1. The same call repeated
  1. Arise - get up and get active when you hear from God
  2. Go - move forward into Gods’ will
  3. Speak - say what I will be saying into you
  1. God does not change His call
  1. GOD'S WILL TO OBEY (Jonah 3:3)
  1. “So, Jonah rose”
  2. Contrast 1:3 and 3:3
  1. 1:3 “Rose to flee from the presence of Yahweh”
  2. 3:3 “Arose and went to Nineveh” depending where he started it is 500 miles.(donkey or camel one month journey)
  3. 3:3 following words, “according to the word of (Yahweh) the LORD.)
