According to our four-year old granddaughter, Jonah told God “No” and you shouldn’t ever tell God, “No”. What wisdom!

Jonah didn’t seem too concerned about his disobedience. He went below deck on the ship and fell into a deep sleep.

Extremely significant piece of Scripture found in Jonah. So significant that Jesus uses the sign of Jonah to prove that He was the Messiah.

Matt 12:39-40
He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Jonah 1:17
But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.

A couple of other significant things to consider. Since Jesus made the connection between Himself and Jonah, what other connections can we make? Look specifically at the prayer Jonah prayed while in the belly of the fish. Any connections with Jesus?
