Chapter 11 What We Deserve

So what is all this leading to? I had a difficult time figuring that out, too. What do we deserve?
So how could Jonah be Nineveh? Grandpa takes time to show Rick just how Jonah is like Nineveh, in the only way that really matters.
"Jonah feels that Nineveh doesn't deserve to be seaved. That's why he's running. But guess who else doesn't deserve to be saved?" Us....and Jonah.
"If Jonah demands that everydoby gets only what they deserve, then he must also accept what HE deserves, and that is what he is getting."
Rick thinks about his wife, be we can all think about anyone who we feel is treating us wrongly. We deserve better. We don't "deserve" anything, we aren't "entitled" to it just because of who we are. "The truth is that there is only one thing we truly deserve, and that's to be sent to hell." Because of the Savior's atonement, we are offered more than what we deserve. His atonement is given, not because we deserve it, but because He loves us.
Rick still doesn't see why Jonah is wrong. Grandfather explains that Nineveh being righteous is important only to Nineveh, not to Jonah. By thinking we are better than someone else, we are more like like Nineveh than the people in Nineveh. But what if the other people really are more wicked than we are?
If we indeed are more righteous, we would never THINK we are, because by THINKING we are better, we are worse. Kind of like humility. You can never admit you are Humble because then you aren't.
The question isn't who is better or worse. We each have to work out our own salvation. We need to work on ourselves. We need to stop getting upset at little things others do and work on ourselves. Ourself is what is important to us. We can't change others, only ourself.
