God sends preachers to the wicked to call them to repentance and to extend His mercy and grace.
God’s decision to send preachers, even to the wicked, reveals His desire to redeem a lost and sinful humanity. In the case of Jonah, he was sent to the morally corrupt city of Nineveh. God’s choice of a flawed vessel like Jonah underscores the notion that His mercy is for all, regardless of their standing before Him. As the sermon notes, God's mission is to save a remnant of His people, as seen in Nineveh where the wicked responded to Jonah's message. Paul emphasizes this in 1 Corinthians 1:21, stating that God chose the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. This reflects God's heart to reach the unreachable, demonstrating that it is ultimately His grace that grants repentance and brings salvation.
