Top Highlights
“The worm teaches—1. That things which destroy our gourds are often little things. 2. That things which destroy our gourds are often invisible things. 3. That things which destroy our gourds are always prepared by God. Under his control the meanest and most invisible creatures can accomplish the most wonderful purposes. They destroy the largest armies, and demolish the strongest fortresses; they overturn thrones, and lay waste empires.” (Page 391)
“Jonah seems to think that God was more merciful than just” (Page 386)
“He was not to concern himself about his message and its results. That would be given to him when he was ready for it. He is to add nothing, nor diminish nothing. The Christian minister is not left to his own discretion, nor must he study to gratify the taste of the people. He must preach the Word—the message from God to him—earnestly and faithfully.” (Page 374)
“The sins which he rebukes are chiefly those of the capital. Extreme oppression, violence among the rich, bribing among judges, priests, prophets; building up the capital even by cost of life, or actual bloodshed; spoliation, expulsion of the powerless women and children from their homes; covetousness, cheating in dealings, pride.” (Page 395)
“If we abuse the confidence of our fellow-creatures, they seldom forgive and employ us again. But God freely forgives, restores to favour after rebellion, and grants commission to unworthy servants.” (Page 373)
