What does the Bible say about the message of Jonah?

Answered in 1 source

The message of Jonah is primarily about God's mercy and grace, as seen in Christ's fulfillment of Jonah's typology.

The Book of Jonah reveals God's desire for repentance and mercy, illustrated through the disobedient prophet. In Matthew 12:38-41, Jesus clarifies that Jonah's experience foreshadows His own death, burial, and resurrection. The key takeaway from Jonah is that God is the Lord of history, directing events to serve His purposes of redemption and glorifying His name, emphasizing Christ as the greater than Jonah, who fulfills and surpasses the prophetic typology.
Scripture References: Matthew 12:38-41, Jonah 1:1-2
