I never knew that a minor prophet that simply told a story about a big fish eating Jonah could have such an eternal meaning-that God is compassionate and wants to save those far away.

And that I can never ever put God INTO a box. He indeed works ALL things out so that He is best glorified. Great insights, and I am stoked you persevered through such an intense class. Not just because you did it, but because it obviously lent you a greater ability to pursue our omnipotent God and gain understanding regarding His providence. To God be all glory, honor, and praise.

As I read Jonah I kept thinking about this being a foreshadowing of God saving the Gentiles (as represented by the pagan mariners). I am grateful that God is compassionate and merciful to save sinners like me! Thanks for this helpful blog, Pastor Bobby.

How awesome to study Hebrew, that is a desire of mine, so I can understand God's word more. The last line you said in your blog was very comforting to me. "May we all come to see God for how big he is and for how much he cares for small people like us!" We have a BIG all powerful God, for us! "His small humbled people."
