At first, the sailors didn’t want to throw Jonah off the boat but the storm and the sea became too violent for them so they cried out to the Lord Jonah’s God saying “oh Lord,” they pleaded, “don’t make us die for this man’s sin. But don’t hold us responsible for his death. Oh Lord you have sent this storm upon him for your own good reasons.” The sailors pick Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea and the storm stopped at once. The sailors were awestruck by the Lord’s great power and offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him. Unconsciously Jonah evangelize to the sailors. They saw God’s power and immediately they became saved. Remember these men were pagans but once they saw God’s power they became saved. God is able to use even our mistakes to help others come to know him. After Jonah was thrown overboard and cast into the raging sea, the Lord arrange for a great fish to swallow him. Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights, this part right here is a reference to Jesus when the religious leaders demanded that Jesus give them a sign to prove his authority. Jesus said the only sign that you will receive was the sign of Jonah, they would see Jesus swallowed by death and delivered after three days. Now look at God’s grace, Jonah should’ve died in the sea, yet God saved him by sending a great fish to swallow him up. Now of course by human standards he should’ve died being swallowed by a great fish but he didn’t because he had grace from God, he was favored by the Lord and the Lord kept him alive in the belly of the fish. Nobody can do that but God. Thanks for stopping by, you guys are awesome! Until next time.
