Commentary on Jonah 4:3

Theological / Devotional

Take ... my life. How different is Jonah’s appeal to God from that of Moses, who, in the true spirit of self-sacrifice, was willing to have his name blotted out that his offending people might live (see Ex. 32:31, 32). Jonah gave way to complete discouragement.
