God who pursues
When Jonah runs from God out of disobedience, God pursues him. The reason God pursues Jonah is not to pay him back for his disobedience but to bring Jonah back to Him.
God, the creator and sustainer of all things, uses nature to intervene in Jonah’s life. He uses a great storm to create fear among the sailors who decide to throw Jonah into the sea in order to calm the storm.
