Compassion in today’s culture is often reduced to tolerance and silence in the face of sin. In Biblical Compassion, Dr. Michael Youssef returns to the book of Jonah to reveal the true compassion of the God of Scripture—holy, sovereign, and rich in mercy. This five-part series confronts rebellion, exposes false peace, and calls believers to genuine repentance and faithful witness. From Jonah’s flight to Nineveh’s revival, we see that God’s mercy never compromises Truth and His grace always calls sinners to repentance. Grounded in the inerrant Word and centered on the saving work of Jesus Christ, this series challenges us to align our hearts with God’s mission and intercede boldly for a lost world.

In Part 5 of Biblical Compassion, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the danger of resenting God’s mercy. Jonah rejoiced in grace for himself but burned with anger when God spared Nineveh. Scripture reveals that the Lord is sovereign, compassionate, and slow to anger. The problem was not God’s mercy—it was Jonah’s heart. When we refuse to align with the will of God, we become restless and blind to His blessings. True Biblical compassion reflects the heart of Christ, who came to seek and save the lost. The divinity of Jesus and the inerrancy of Scripture demand our surrender. Will we love comfort more than souls, or intercede for the perishing before judgment falls?
