• What is interesting about this whole episode is
  how totally messed up Jonahs priorities are. He
  takes great delight in his own personal comfort
  while he is absolutely distraught over the idea
  of the Ninevites receiving eternal comfort.

• So often the danger the world presents to the
  believer is not the obvious evil it invites us to
  partake in, but the personal gratification it
  invites us to focus on. All too often our
  personal comfort take precedent over what truly
  matters.
