When we rejoice in forgiving others, we are returning to the holy image of God, our Creator and Father.
In this lesson, God, through the reluctance of Jonah to forgive the Ninevites, teaches us some invaluable lessons on forgiveness.
Additional Notes: Throughout this lesson and others, I refer to Luke 6:31 as the moral code. It is the code that all human beings are born with, written on our spirits to guide us into doing the morally good things.
I also refer to people who live or strive to live by the law of Luke 6:31 as “good people.” I do this because, while no one can be absolutely good, or absolutely morally excellent, Jesus teaches that a person can be either good or evil (Matthew 5:45). He also teaches that a “good person” will do “good things” (Matthew 12:34-35).
