JONAH OR JONAS

Thompson Chain Reference (1934)

Sent to a foreign field

Sought to flee from an unwelcome duty

Overtaken in his flight

Finds God's presence even in the depths of the sea

Proceeds upon his mission of warning

Disappointed at the success of his own message

Reveals his bigotry in lamenting the repentance of the Ninevites

Taught a lesson of the breadth of the Divine Love
