Jonas 1:1-17 NVIPT

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jonah 1:4-5

CRITICAL NOTES.] Jonah 1:4. Sent out] Lit. to cast or hurl, passive, to be thrown prostrate. “God throws the wind down upon the surface of the sea.” “Hurled a greate wynde into the see” [Coverdale]. Was like] Lit. thought to be broken. The ship personified; ship and crew identified in the writer’s mind. Jonah 1:5. Afraid] Though accustomed to storms. Lighten] The sailors and ship under a burden.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jonah 1:5-6

CRITICAL NOTES.] Jonah 1:6. What] He sleeps, they pray (Psalms 107:28). God] Lit. the God; other gods powerless (perhaps the language of hope); Jonah’s God could help them. HOMILETICSCONTRASTS IN THE VOYAGE OF LIFE.—Jonah 1:5Fatigue and sorrow had some influence upon Jonah (Matthew 26:40-45); but he seemed to be stupefied by sin, and for a time composed himself into deep sleep. The praying sailors and the sleeping servant indicate great contrasts in moral life.I. Contrasts in the family.... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jonah 1:7

CRITICAL NOTES.] Jonah 1:7. Lots] A heathen mode of decision, often permitted by God. “Lots were for (1) dividing; (2) consulting; (3) divining” [Pusey]. Fell upon] Proverbs 16:33. HOMILETICSIS THERE NOT A CAUSE?—Jonah 1:7When great judgments happen there must be great guilt. When a nation, city, or family is brought into danger, it is wise to inquire into the cause. Here we notice—I. Social danger caused by individual sin. Nature teaches a connection between sin and suffering. They are bound... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jonah 1:8-10

CRITICAL NOTES.] Jonah 1:8. Tell] How urgent and earnest this examination! Fit questions for our own hearts! Jonah 1:9. Hebrew] A name by which an Israelite was known to foreigners (Genesis 40:15; Exodus 3:18). The God] Heathens had distinct gods for heaven, earth, and sea. Jonah 1:10. Afraid] They had heard of, now they felt the power of Jehovah. HOMILETICSURGENT QUESTIONS.—Jonah 1:8Most admirable is the dealing of these heathens with the prophet of God. They are in great danger, but press not... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jonah 1:11-17

CRITICAL NOTES.] Jonah 1:11. The sea] “Not only increasingly tempestuous, but, like a thing alive and obeying its Master’s will, it was holding on its course, its wild waves tossing themselves and marching on in battalions arrayed for the end for which they were sent, pursuing and demanding the runaway slave of God” [Pusey]. Jonah 1:12.] Jonah reads out his doom, conscious of being the cause of suffering and peril. Cast me] Suicide and guilt to have done it himself. I know] i.e. am well aware.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jonah 1:1-2

John 1:1-2 The main features of the case are: (1) A Divine commission and command distinctly and authoritatively given, with some of the reasons for it annexed, although with others certainly not fully revealed. (2) A state of reluctance and suspense ever verging towards actual disobedience expressing itself, now in remonstrance, now in request for exemptions, now in moody and distrustful silence. The situation is none so rare. The principles involved, and the lessons arising, are for all time.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jonah 1:1-17

Jonah 1-4 Jonah buried and risen a type of Christ. I. More than once in the course of our Lord's ministry, among different persons and for different objects, He makes use of the similitude of the prophet's burial and resurrection. When the Jews asked for a sign He refused it, (i) because it was presumptuous to ask it; (ii) because they were blind to actual signs already given and constantly existing before their eyes; (iii) because the very demand was a proof of deep ungodliness, and the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jonah 1:3

John 1:3 I. While Jonah works God waits. When Jonah falls asleep, God begins to work. The scene is thus arrestive and striking. The man hasting away for days from "the presence," out among second causes and exterior things, into a blank world of indifference. Then God, with a touch of His hand, raising up those second causes, which hitherto had seemed to favour the flight, into an irresistible combination for the arrest and recovery of the fugitive. Men dig pits and fall into them. They weave... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jonah 1:4

John 1:4 I. Apparently with great unanimity, the sailors fall upon a scheme to discover the cause and reason of the storm, or at any rate, the person on whose account it has come. They all pray, and then cast lots. They did not mean it as a desperate chance stroke. In their intention it was a religious act. As such it was accepted, for the lot fell upon Jonah. God uses the honest, although blind, endeavours of His creatures to discover truth and duty, to reveal to them in a measure what they... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jonah 1:15

John 1:15 I. Among the many marvels of this Book not the least is that Jonah, the discovered culprit, should be constituted judge in his own case. (i) The sailors' appeal to Jonah was in fact an appeal to God. It carries with it a reverential recognition of His hand. (ii) Also, we must see in this question a recognition of the honesty and recovered manhood of Jonah. (iii) No doubt they had some regard also to his prophetic office, and to the fact that he did not seem to be released from it. He... read more
