Jonahಮಾದರಿ

Jonah is an example of a religious professional, a preacher, a prophet who received direct revelation from God but was also deeply and profoundly in the dark about God’s grace. In verses 8 and 9, he gets to the point where he understands God’s grace and is ready to go preach the gospel. So God, in his Sovereignty, causes the fish to vomit him up. Many times, the primary reason for the problems in our lives can be directly related to our lack of understanding of God’s grace. Until we get it, like Jonah did, we will be locked up in the belly of a fish. The day that you understand the grace of God, and you put your faith and trust in Him, is the day you become a Christian and are free.
