Jonah went unwillingly; Jesus goes willingly. Jonah preached grudgingly; Jesus preaches as the Word made flesh. Jonah was thrown into the sea because of his own disobedience; Jesus was thrown into death because of ours. Jonah is a sign that exposes how little control we have; Jesus is the sign that gives us what we could never earn: forgiveness, life, salvation.
