Jesus is asked for a sign and He refers to the life of Jonah as a sign of his authority. As we unpack this idea we realize how fitting the life of Jonah is for the life of Jesus. Jonah takes responsibility for the sailors and offers his life for their salvation. But the fish that had swallowed him can't keep him in and throws him up on land after three days. Likewise Jesus takes responsibility for mankind and offers his life for their salvation and he is offered up to the Romans who kill him. But the tomb can't keep him and symbolically vomits him out after three days and His life continues. The pdf for this podcast is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca
