The ministry of the prophet Jonah is retold in this image. When God called him to speak to the sinful city of Nineveh, he boarded a ship bound for the opposite direction. During a terrible storm, Jonah was thrown overboard by the ship’s crew and swallowed by a huge fish. While in the beast’s belly, he repented and purposed to do God’s will in Nineveh. Upon preaching to that city, the people repented of their sins. Jonah became upset, though, that God would allow the Ninevites to escape His judgment by turning from their wicked ways. God showed Jonah an object lesson of His grace and compassion for people who are far from Him through the growing and withering of a vine.
Jonah’s story is found in the Old Testament book of the same name.
I hope that this image will be a reminder to you of the truth of God’s Word, the blessings of obedience to His call, and His desire for all people to repent of their sin and follow Him.
