St. Paul Lutheran Church

Jonah may have wanted to end his life and thereby bringing condemnation upon the people of Nineveh but God has other supernatural plans that will unfold in the belly of a great fish. In this belly Jonah will say a prayer that is pretty solid theologically but lacking in believability on the part of Jonah's true faith as he unmasks himself as the object of his worship. But God will not give up on Jonah as he continues to pursue him with his relentless steadfast mercy and love.
