B. Unwanted Grace Comes as an Intrusion

It is quite evident that Jonah wasn’t looking for the privilege God has in mind for him..

It was much more of an intrusion than anything else..

It disrupted Jonah’s life and called him to do something he didn’t want to do..

Jonah was one of 16 men in all of history who were called to be prophets in the way he was called.

Jonah’s life was the way he wanted it to be..

He was a prophet..

He was recognized as a prophet..

He was a successful prophet according to II Kings 14:25..

He had said his king, Jeroboam II, would expand his kingdom’s border greatly and it came true..

This meant success, blessing, economic prosperity, and Jonah was a prophet with a popular message..

But the God unwanted grace comes along with a new word, a word Jonah doesn’t want. Even though it is a word of opportunity..
