Jonah 3-4

In Chapter 3, we read about Jonah when he called the people of Nineveh for repentance and how they returned to God with fasting and praying.

In Chapter 4, we read how Jonah was angry because God forgave Nineveh! God taught Jonah a lesson about His mercy and forgiveness when God brought a plant for him and then God took it away to show him that He cares for all people.

In chapter 3 verse 7 and 8, we see how the people of Nineveh repented

immediately with fasting and prayers. When we repent, we should repent quickly with humility and fasting.
