The greater Jonah

Jonah is a picture of Jesus. There is only one that was greater than Jonah - that’s Jesus.  There is a bigger grace we can draw on - Jesus, the one who call out a new name, destiny and identity.

Covenant or Comfort

Looking at Jonah’s prayer and the cross references to the rest of scripture, we start to see a picture of the cross and redemption. 

City of Sinners

I searched for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.

Cry of the Lost - Part 2

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

Cry of the Lost - Part 1

Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me. - Who is on the other side of your yeas for Jesus?

Character of God

But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. That is what I tried to forestall (prevent/obstruct) by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.
