Perhaps you’ve heard the story before. A man swallowed by a whale who lives to tell the tale. But here’s the thing. There is so much more to the book of Jonah. In fact, Jonah is not a story about a great fish at all. The whale is just a prop in the narrative. It’s actually a story about a great God. A gracious God who relentlessly pursues rebels. A sovereign God who rules over everything for His glory and our good. A missional God who, unlike Jonah, loves the city. A merciful God who pardons the prophet and the pagans. A patient God who seeks the self-righteous religious and the sinful irreligious alike. In entering Jonah’s story, we get a better look at God’s heart and ours as well. That’s because this story is our story. We are Jonah.
