In the Biblical book that bears Jonah's name, everything in creation obeys God and does his bidding, from the great storm to the great fish, to the amazing plant, and the tiny worm. Only Jonah disobeys, persistently and angrily rebellious against God for being who he is - the kind of God who shows compassion toward really broken people. Yet the Lord demonstrates his power by saving the pagan sailors and godless Ninevites through Jonah's defective preaching. In the process, Jonah points us unwittingly to the Saviour we all need, whether we are "good people" or deeply defective, and to the grace of the gospel, which is our only hope in life and death.
