‘There is no sin so great that Christ’s grace is not greater still’. ThoughJonah deserved judgment, God gave him mercy. God’s never-endinglove comes to Jonah in the provision of a great fish, which savesJonah’s life and brings him back to the pathway of obedience. Whilstin the fish’s belly, Jonah experiences the reality of faith and prayer ina new way. The final line of his prayer reveals the heart of the gospel:‘Salvation comes from the Lord’ (2v9).
