The story of Jonah is really a story of God’s heart and God’s mission. It tells of a loving God who pursues His people relentlessly—whether it is a renegade prophet, a boatful of desperate sailors, or a sinful city. It speaks of a merciful God who is always ready to give people a second chance. And it shows us a compassionate God who is working in our hearts even as He challenges us to love others. Don’t miss the beautiful truths contained in what Jesus himself called the “sign of Jonah”.
