Is anyone beyond hope? I know that is a hard question. When God called Jonah he faced an even more difficult question: is there anyone whom you wish where beyond hope? Jonah had a different answer than God. We all know about Jonah being swallowed by a whale. But do we remember why he was? In one of the most beautiful passages about loving neighbors, we learn that God will stop at nothing to offer hope and show his love even to the most lost people in the world. What if God asked us to join him in that enterprise? He has.
