Father Mike Schmitz: 我认为约拿的故事核心在于神对所有人的爱和怜悯,即使是对那些不配得到的人。约拿不愿去尼尼微,因为他知道神是仁慈的,可能会宽恕他们,但他希望他们受到惩罚。这显示了约拿内心的狭隘和缺乏怜悯。神通过蓖麻树的故事教导约拿,他应该对尼尼微人有更多的关怀,因为他们不认识神,需要被引导。我个人反思是,我们有时也会像约拿一样,不愿将神的爱延伸到我们认为不配的人身上,但神希望我们拥有更宽广的胸怀,去爱和怜悯所有人。 Father Mike Schmitz: 我认为约拿的故事也提醒我们,作为先知,我们应该勇敢地传达神的旨意,即使那不是我们想说的。约拿只想对耶罗波安说好听的话,而阿摩司则勇敢地指出了他的错误。我们应该效法阿摩司,说出真理,即使那会让我们不舒服。我希望我们都能成为真正的先知,传达神的爱和真理,并让真理转化我们的心。 Father Mike Schmitz: 我认为这个故事也揭示了神的主权和人的自由意志之间的张力。神呼召约拿去尼尼微,但他可以选择逃避。尼尼微人听到约拿的信息后,可以选择悔改,也可以选择不悔改。神并没有强迫任何人,但他仍然在他们的选择中工作,最终实现了他的旨意。我个人认为,我们应该相信神的主权,同时也积极地回应他的呼召,活出我们的信仰。
