Jonah is written like a comic book. Everything is big and impressive, and you know beyond a shadow of a doubt who is right and who is wrong. But the story goes to another level when we see it is actually holding up a mirror to ourselves, a mirror that asks us one simple question. What happens when God loves your enemies?
Vomited up on the shore of a new beginning, Son of Faithfulness must be reminded by God of his true calling. Will he grab the new beginning from God with everything in him, or will he just phone in another performance? Will the king come off of his throne?
Jonah’s in the belly of the whale. This time of terribleness as Jonah lays next to all the old meals of this giant fish causes him to lament, causes him to think back and causes him to see salvation in the LORD alone.
Asleep at the wheel? Have you ever been driving and you then realize you are miles further than you remember? Scary stuff. Jonah is asleep at the wheel of his faith, just getting by and hurting people in the process. Perhaps his life can wake us from our slumber.

Should I care? Jonah sets up a little camp on a hill to watch the show. But the show never comes, and he is left with a terrible sunburn. How could he have avoided all of this? Perhaps he could have not wanted the city's destruction.
