May 17: Jonah

Unit 14, Session 3: Jonah, Prophet to Nineveh

Jonah’s story isn’t so much about the big fish. It centers around the compassion of God, not only for the people of Israel, but for people throughout the earth. God displayed His mercy and grace by forgiving the people of Nineveh when they repented of their sin. God showed His love to the rest of the world by sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross. God saves those who trust in Jesus and repent of their sin, and He sends them out, like Jonah, with the good news of salvation.
