God said to Jonah, "Get up and go to the great city of
Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its
people are" ~ John 1:2 ~
In many ways the United States has become like Nineveh, a
wicked, ungodly nation, but there is still hope as God has not yet removed his
hand of protection from us. Jonah was called to go to Nineveh and announce God's
judgement. We today are not called to announce judgement, but we are called
to announce the good news of the Gospel. Jonah, you, and me, have all been
called to deliver a message. Jonah's message was judgement, our message is
Christ, love, and hope. There was to be two great judgements. One upon Nineveh,
the other upon Jonah if he did not obey God's command. The same holds true
today with the United States and Christ followers. So let's get up and go to the
city, share the Gospel, let nothing hinder us..."We would rather put up with
anything than be an obstacle to the Good News about Christ" 1
Corinthians 9:12. Amen.
