j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's.

Discussion Points:

Point 1: Word of the LORD comes again. Even now Jonah is still pouting and reluctant but knowing there is no running away, he goes and does the bidding of the Lord.
Point 2: Nineveh was a very large city. 3 days walking distance across it. His message was a message of doom and these ungodly people not only heard but felt the power of it. They Jonah 3:5 "believed God."
Point 3: The king immediately repents and calls on the people to do the same. And to "cry mightily unto God". Who knows the blessing that might result when such is the case. They had no guarantee or promise that God would spare them but HE was their only hope.
Point 4: Jonah is still mad even though God has used him so mightily in the salvation of Nineveh. God deals with him further to show him his own folly and to reveal that God is Sovereign. Amazing that God should be so gracious with one who was so ungracious and unappreciative.

Notes: It is significant that the Name of the LORD here means the Self-Existing One (ie He needs no one) who reveals Himself
