Dipping into the book of Jonah
The story of Jonah and the “whale” is one of the most familiar and well-loved stories in the Biblical Account. Even unbelievers know about Jonah and whale, er…, fish! Surely there is nothing else we can learn or need to learn beyond what we know! But of course, there must be! After all, this book came from the mind of Almighty God whose mind is infinite, and He has the most wondrous way of communicating with any of His creatures, on whatever level and in any medium! And so, in the simplest of ways, the LORD God has conveyed a wonderful message through the medium of a story. The fact that the story is so memorable must then indicate the importance of the message and perhaps hint at its indispensability.
