WordDigest: Lessons From Jonah's Attitude (1)

Text: Jonah 1:1-17
God commanded Jonah; "go and preach the word against Nineveh".

Nineveh was a town characterised by wickedness.
But Jonah ran away and got to Tarshish, down to Joppa where he boarded a ship to flee from the Lord.

God sent a violent wind which frightened the sailors.

The sailors cast lots and realised Jonah's attitude of disobedience to God's word caused that mild wind on the sea.

Instantly the sailors threw Jonah into the sea.
And God allowed a whale to swallow Jonah.
Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and nights without any defect.
