Do you ever miss what’s right in front of you? Sometimes we just want a sign in life that’s big and obvious, but even then we can still miss it. What Jesus said to the Pharisees in Matthew 12:38-41 is the same thing He’s saying to us today: the story of Jonah is a sign to show us our sin. Whether we want to admit it or not, we are just like Jonah. And while this story causes us to see our sin, it also causes us to see a Savior.
That’s our sign. Don’t miss it! Jonah isn’t just a story about a big fish. Even more than that, it’s a story about a big God.
