Jonah: A Story for Adults, Pt 2
By: Curtis Baker
In our last study together we left Jonah on the sea shore after he had been vomited up by the great fish. If you recall, all of this came about because Jonah tried to flee from God. Rather than carry out his mission to preach to the people of Nineveh, Jonah tried to flee to the farthest ends of the earth. But as we resume our study of this book in chapter three, we find that Jonah’s experiences have reoriented his motivation. Rather than run from God, Jonah is now ready to carry out his original mission.
If you take a close look at how chapter three begins, and you compare it to how the whole book began in chapter one, you will notice that the story essentially starts over again. God came to Jonah in chapter one and asked him to go and preach to the city of Nineveh, the ancient capital of the Assyrian empire. In chapter three, the same call of God comes again, only now Jonah is actually ready to carry out God’s instructions.
