To such an extent was Jonah self-centred





Pope Shenouda III




To such an extent was Jonah self-centred! He was not able to abnegate himself for the sake of people's salvation. His reverence, honor and word were more important to him than the salvation of a whole city!
He had no objection to working with the Lord on the grounds that the Lord would preserve for him his honor and the awesomeness of his word. That was why he fled from the presence of the Lord refusing to carry out this errand that would hurt his pride.
He was honest with the Lord in revealing his inner feelings. For when the Lord upbraided him afterwards, he said: "Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country?
Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness, One who relents from doing harm" (Jon. 4:2).
