We’ve seen that Jonah isn’t about Jonah and a whale but about the Lord and a reluctant evangelist. We’ve seen that God is the global Evangelist who is sovereign (Jonah 1), gracious (Jonah 2), merciful (Jonah 3) and compassionate (Jonah 4), saving a city of 120,000 spiritually clueless pagans through his gospel message, despite their wickedness and despite the reluctance of his prophet, because “Salvation comes from the Lord” (Jonah 2 v 9).
