    Despite Jonah's attempt to flee, the LORD had a greater plan for the sailors as well as the prophet Jonah himself. Despite situations that seem hopeless and fruitless, the LORD can bring redemption and His purposes about, because HE IS GOD!

It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 30 "For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will ...read more
