Jonah 3.1-5,10

If you find yourself among people describing God’s call on their life, sooner or later someone will say, ‘God never gives up!’ Jonah is the classic example of divine persistence. Called from the life of a faithful Israelite (1.9) to become a prophet of doom for Nineveh, Jonah sets off in the opposite direction (1.3), only to encounter a voracious fish en route.
