God summoned Jonah to go to a place he did not want to go, to visit a people he did not particularly like, and to give a message he literally detested—all this to the pagan city of Nineveh! Jonah’s response to God’s call? A flat and unequivocal “No!” “I will not go!” Do we have the Jonah Complex? Send someone else, Lord. Send me later, Lord. I’ll do it my way, Lord.
