Nineveh in Luke 11
NIN-uh-vuh
This place shows up in Luke 11:32: “The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Luke 11:32
“The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.”
What kids can learn
When you hear nineveh in Luke, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Luke 11:32 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
