Jonah A Bitter Prophet - December 04, 2022

Dec 4, 2022    Sis Alisha Stevens

In this Jonah 4 kids Bible video, Jonah learned that God had decided to forgive the people of Nineveh instead of punishing them and became angry. He yelled at God for changing His mind and stormed out of the city, found a hill where he built a makeshift shelter to sit under while he watched the city to see what would happen. God caused a plant with large, broad leaves to spring up, under which Jonah enjoyed sitting in the shade. God then caused a worm to show up and begin eating the plant. The worm ate so much that the plant withered and died. When Jonah discovered that the tree was dead, he became angry again and wished that he were dead. God asked Jonah why he was so upset over a plant that he had done nothing for. God pointed out that if Jonah could be so upset over a plant that he had no real emotional attachment to, why shouldn’t God show compassion to a city of 120,000 people, not to mention animals, that He created.
