In this episode, Sam and Will talk about how Jesus is shown as greater than Jonah through the storm on the sea, the sign of Jonah, and the resurrection. This episode walks through the moment Jesus calms the storm, why that reveals his authority, and how he connects Jonah’s three days in the fish to his own death and rising again. The episode also highlights how the early church understood this as a resurrection sign and used fish imagery on ossuary boxes as a symbol of hope. If you are new to the Bible, this is a simple way to see how one Old Testament story points to Jesus. It also reminds believers that resurrection hope belongs to those who trust in him.
