September 24

“So he prayed to the LORD, and said, “Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.” (Jonah 4:2 NKJV)

Jonah fled to Tarshish, the very place Paul would come from. Jonah fled sharing God’s message with gentiles while Paul would share the Good News of Jesus Christ with gentiles.
