In Running from God, Pursued by Grace | Jonah 1 (December 11, 2022), Pastor Harley frames Jonah as a real, historical prophet—and he anchors that by starting in Matthew 12:38–41, where Jesus calls Jonah a prophet, affirms the “three days and three nights” in the fish, and points to Nineveh’s repentance as a rebuke to hard-hearted unbelief. The setup matters: Jonah isn’t a children’s tale; it’s a true story God preserved because it exposes the human heart—and the relentless mercy of God toward both the rebellious prophet and the wicked people he doesn’t want to forgive.
