II. Lectionary Reflections: Jonah and Nineveh

5. Commentary on Jonah 3:5-10

God takes notice of every instance of the reformation of sinners, even those instances that fall not under the cognizance and observation of the world. He sees who turn from their evil way and who do not, and meets those with favour that meet him in a sincere conversion. ...

6. Jonah's Problem

10. Repent! Convert! Two Words that Need to Be Rediscovered

Repentance and the call to conversion are key biblical summons. Repentance is not suggested, it is commanded, and without it we will not see the kingdom of God. ...

11. A Broken Heart And a Contrite Spirit

The Lord has no pleasure in sacrifices when the heart is not right. When the heart is not right these sacrifices are an abomination to Him. That their hands were full of blood showed that they had not repented of their sins. ...

12. Repentance, A Golden Key
