JONAH AND THE BIG FISH
Nineveh Warned
Nineveh was a great city. Within its strong walls were stately temples, glittering palaces, and beautiful gardens. But the people of Nineveh were very wicked.
God told the prophet Jonah, “Go tell the people of Nineveh to repent from their great wickedness.” But Jonah did not want to obey. These people were the enemies of the Israelites.
Jonah decided to ignore God’s call. He boarded a ship to go far away. But he could never get away from God.
God sent a terrific storm on the sea. This was no ordinary storm for the sailors. Desperately they threw their cargo overboard, calling on their gods for help.
What was Jonah doing? The captain found him below the deck, fast asleep. “What’s the matter with you?” he cried. “Call on your God! Perhaps He will hear you and save our lives.”
Jonah told the sailors that he had disobeyed God. Because of his disobedience God sent this terrible storm. “Throw me overboard,” he said, “and the storm will stop!”
The sailors called on the Lord. They pleaded that He would not blame them for Jonah’s death. Then they threw Jonah into the raging sea. Immediately the storm stopped! How the sailors marveled! Right there they decided to serve the living God.
What happened to Jonah? A big fish that the Lord had prepared, swallowed him. From inside the fish Jonah prayed earnestly, promising to obey God. Three days later God caused the fish to vomit Jonah out onto the shore.
Now Jonah was willing to go to Nineveh. He preached all over that great city, crying, “Repent! In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!”
When the king heard this, he covered himself with rough sackcloth and sat in ashes. He told all the people to fast and pray to God for mercy. When God saw the people humbling themselves, He changed His mind and did not destroy Nineveh.
Because Jonah obeyed God, many thousands of people in Nineveh repented and received God’s great mercy.
Jonah 1-3
Caption: God prepares a big fish to swallow Jonah.
Parents: Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? (Psalm 139:7)
Children: 1. Did God know where Jonah was all the time?
2. Where was Jonah when he prayed so earnestly?
3. Did God spare the people of Nineveh?
