the Twelve: Jonah

the Twelve: Jonah by ric Gustafson


Jonah tried to run away from God. He found out the hard way it is impossible. God called him to preach to the people of Nineveh. He rebelled against God's call. He disobeyed God and did what he thought was right.
He boarded a ship which was nearly capsized. The crew threw him overboard and he ended up in the belly of a big fish. Three days later, he was coughed up on shore. He became repentant and went to Nineveh. The king heard Jonah's message and asked for complete repentance. God heard the people's cries and relented of his judgment. Salvation came to that city. Jonah turned from rebellion and received God's forgiveness. Because of that, great things happened.
