The Lord of Death and Fish

The Bible shows us that Jonah was a type of Christ.

As Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and nights so too Jesus was in the grave for three days and nights.

It is amazing to see Christians getting sucked into the worlds way of thinking...its like a very subtle trap.

The unbeliever says "How could a whale swallow a man, it is impossible".

Then the Christian goes to show that it doesn't have to be a whale...it could be a great fish [and they are correct].

The point is, the Christian doesn't have to prove how a man can be "naturally" swallowed by a fish...God supernaturally "prepared" a fish to swallow Jonah.

In the same way we don't need the "Discovery Channel" trying to show how it is 'naturally' possible for a virgin birth to take place because Jesus birth wasn't a natural occurence...it was a supernatural birth.

Jesus resurrection was not a human body "naturally" coming back to life...God supernaturally raised His Son from the grave, in His glorified body.

So when the unbeliever says prove to me how a man can be swallowed by a fish, we must not lower our thinking to his...his thoughts are limited to the natural...ours are not.

God is the Almighty, nothing is too difficult for Him.
