Jonah 1v1-6 - Grace Abounding

A man swallowed by a big fish ... really?   

It seems so incredible that many people dismiss the narrative of Jonah as fiction.   

By doing this, they miss out on a narrative that speaks not only of God's sovereign power over nature, nations and individuals, but also of God's relentless grace to pursue his wayward people, save pagan sailors, and show mercy to a ruthless nation.

This week we see God's abounding grace to his sinful prophet, even though that grace comes in the form of a storm and a rebuke.
