Jonah a Type of Christ
Matthew 12:14
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.…


I. The striking signification of his name. Jonah signifies dove — a striking emblem of the meek and gentle Jesus.

II. As a proclaimer of God's will to men.

III. In his sufferings and deliverance. Jonah, after all, very imperfectly typified Christ.
