Jonah

KEY WORD: Prepare (Jonah 1:17; 4:6-8)

KEY VERSE: “And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?” (4:11).

THEME: Jonah was a bigoted Jew who was unwilling to preach repentance to an enemy of Israel, that is, Nineveh. This book tells how God dealt with Jonah to motivate him to preach to unsaved Gentiles.

Jonah is a picture (type) of Christ who was raised from the dead then carried salvation to the Gentiles; the fish’s belly is a picture of Jesus’ entombment. Jesus gives credibility to the historical reliability of Jonah (see Matt. 12:39-41), so to reject the historical accuracy of Jonah being swallowed by a great fish is tantamount to rejecting Jesus’ credibility and reliability. As you read Jonah, search your heart for any excuses or resistance to your obligation to share the gospel with lost people.

Lord, I will go give the gospel to any person or race. Forgive me for any racism I’ve had in the past. Give me a love for all people, everywhere. Amen.
