The servant’s instructions were simple, clear and understood: “Arise, go to Nineveh.” The servant’s understanding of his master’s heart was equally understood: I know “that Thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness.” So what happens when the Master’s heart and will don’t match the servant’s heart and will? The servant tells us the answer: “I fled.” To flee is to go “down.” He went down to Joppa, he went down into the ship, he went down into the bottom of the ship, and the Lord sent him down into the deep, down into the bottoms of the mountains. While he went down of his own will, he slept, but when his master sent him down, he fainted. But he got a wake-up call and responded, “Salvation is of the Lord.” When back on land, the simple, clear instructions are repeated, “Arise, go to Nineveh.” He went; he preached; Nineveh was spared. Was he happy? No! Why not? Read on.
