What does the Bible say about Jonah as a type of Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Jonah represents Christ by willingly offering himself to save others from God's judgment.

In the account of Jonah, we see a powerful depiction of Christ. Jonah willingly offers himself to be thrown into the sea to calm the storm, signifying how Jesus Christ took on the wrath of God for the sins of His people. Just as Jonah's sacrifice brought peace to the mariners, Christ's sacrificial death provides redemption and reconciliation to all who believe. Jonah's experience of being cast into the sea parallels Christ's atoning work, showing that he is a type of the true Savior who willingly bears the weight of God's judgment for the salvation of His people.
