Last night in kids' club we read Jonah. I explained how the three nights in the whale was referred to as a sign by Jesus. Kids' eyes lit up. "I get it! He was three days in the fish like Jesus was three days in the grave."
"Yes, Jonah because of his sin, Jesus because of ours. Then Jonah got a second chance, and so did we."
"God is powerful."
"God is merciful."
"Jonah seems like a jerk."
"But who wrote the book that describes him that way?"
"He did."
"Think he figured it out? Finally realized he was wrong?"
Hesitation, then slow nods, and a smile. "Yea, I think so."
