The men of Ninevah will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. Matthew 12:41
Jonah easily qualifies as one of the worst missionaries in history. His mission was to preach to some of the most evil people ever seen. His eight word sermon was simple. "Yet forty days and Ninevah will be destroyed" They heard, they repented, and God did not destroy them. In contrast, Jesus preached to the people who thought they were God's people, and they refused to listen or repent. Who will rise up in judgment against our generation? We have many more resources and opportunities to learn and repent. Greater opportunities bring greater responsibilities
