Summary
Dimitrios Panagopoulos presents the Prophet Jonah as a model of obedience to God without questioning, following Jonah 1-4 and Matthew 12:39-40. He recounts Jonah's flight toward Tarshish, the storm, the casting of lots, his being thrown into the sea, and his preservation three days and nights in the great fish as a type of Christ's burial. Jonah's prayer from within the fish is treated as an example of prayer born from extreme affliction, and God's renewed command to preach to Nineveh as an image of mercy toward repentance. The homily draws a moral parallel between Jonah hidden in the ship and a concealed sin left uncast from the conscience, under Chrysostom's principle that divine command requires obedience.
