The Sign of Jonah

Three days, and a sign that points to grace. Jonah ran, sank, and was swallowed by the consequences of his own choices — and from the depths, he was given a second commission. This study traces how Jonah's three days in the deep become the sign Jesus Himself chose to explain His death and resurrection.

What You Will Learn

• The full narrative of Jonah — the running, the storm, the depths, and the second chance
• What it means that "the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time" — the Bible's great restart verse
• How Jesus used the sign of Jonah to point to His own death and resurrection
• Why God's mercy on Nineveh unsettled Jonah — and what that reveals about grace for people we struggle to forgive, including ourselves

What You Will Walk Away With

• A deeply personal framework for understanding second chances — biblically, not sentimentally
• The ability to read an Old Testament book in the light of Christ
• Hope with structure under it: if Jonah's story was not over in the deep, neither is yours
