Day three was all about love. During small group, we studied Jonah and how he was supposed to share God’s love to Nineveh. Even though Jonah chose not to do what God wanted him to do, God’s love still saved lives. The fisherman on the boat began to cry out to God when even just a few verses earlier they had referred to Him as Jonah’s God. God showed love in saving Jonah from drowning by having the big fish swallow him. God also had compassion on the city of Nineveh when Jonah warned them of God’s wrath.
Compassion is seeing someone’s need and then doing something about that need. God sees our greatest need (forgiveness) and loves us so much that He paid the ultimate price to meet that need by sending Jesus to pay for our sin on the cross.
We need to LEAP towards God’s love and receive it. The greatest love story ever told is His love for you.
