Everyone likes a good comeback story. In Jonah chapter 3, we see Jonah getting a second chance. God is giving Jonah a “re-do”. But before we are tempted to make this part of the story about Jonah’s second chance… we have to see that it is primarily about the work of a gracious and merciful God who is patient and whose love extends to us even after we fail Him. God is a God who saves and we see in Jonah 3 what Paul would later say in Romans 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."
