Series: Jonah: God's Sovereign Mercy
Text: Jonah 1:17-2:10
Theme: Jonah's progression from rebellion, to repentance, to restoration.

One: Historic but prophetic

  • Jonah and Jesus were buried for 3 days
  • Jonah and Jesus were raised the third days
  • Jonah and Jesus proclaimed repentance
  • [Remember, Jonah but Jesus]

Two: Punished but penitent

  • God keeps us from the ruin of sin by a severe mercy
  • In repentance, we desire God's presence

Three: Disobedient but delivered

  • Sinners run from God, but he seeks and saves.
  • God appoints the means and accomplishes the end of our salvation.

Salvation belongs to the Lord! ~ Jonah 2:9
