Go to Nineveh

Suzi Dennis – God has blessed me with the gift of visually perceiving His word and the ability to translate it into images on paper for all to see and believe. This image reveals the wickedness of Nineveh rising up before the Lord as He says to Jonah, “Go to this great city Nineveh and cry out against it.” With eyes lowered, Jonah turns his head from the wickedness of Nineveh and from God.

Lauran De Vries – This orchid represents the plant that provided Jonah shade for a day. I chose to paint a plant because I believe that just like Jonah, we too take for granted the little things like a plant that so brilliantly fills our world.
Jonah – The Reluctant Prophet

Shirley Dawson – The prophet Jonah has always interested me by the very humanness of his reaction to God’s call for him to go to the doomed Ninevites. In this work, I’ve attempted to depict Jonah’s moods, his reluctance, his anger, his contriteness, and his final obedience.
God’s Provision

Sharon Davis – When God called Jonah to go to the hostile enemy city of Nineveh, Jonah rebelled. He feared what could happen to him there. What he ignored was that no matter what God calls us to He makes provision for us to carry it out. Even through Jonah’s disobedience, God preserved him in the belly of a great fish. I was inspired by God’s preservation for not only Jonah but for all His children.
Consequences

Lois Davis – The “consequences” of a person’s sin affects not only that person, but also those who surround him: family, friends and strangers. This is what spoke to me as I re-read Jonah’s story and was involved in helping a friend who was hurt by someone else’s “consequences.” I hope this painting will reach out to you, as it has to me, by reminding each of us that our “consequences” affect others.

Gracie Davis – My piece is about Jonah and the whale. It symbolizes Jonah reaching out of the whale. The light can also symbolize Jonah’s need for God while in the whale.

Miriam Daniel – When following God, we profit, but when we take our own route, we end up on an empty and barren road.

George Cress – This painting of the story of Jonah depicts the storm Jonah’s ship was in before they threw him into the raging sea. According to the Hebrew written on the face of the painting, “And they cast him forth into the sea.” God sent this storm in love, in order to save Jonah from running away from the task He had laid before him to do. Though Jonah saw it as an act of violence and punishment, God had better intentions for His chosen prophet.

David Coulter – Jesus said, “An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Matthew 12:39-40
“The Lord heard me out of the belly hell, cried I.” Jonah 2:2
“Salvation is of the Lord.” Jonah 2:9
God’s Weave of Salvation

Patricia Corder – My canvas is divided horizontally by a weaving. God wove the events of Jonah’s life to attain His ultimate goal – the salvation of Nineveh. Jonah also experienced God’s merciful grace when God sent the big fish to swallow Jonah, who surely would have drowned without God’s intervention. The vine, which follows the weave of the painting, protected Jonah and ultimately taught him a valuable lesson. …
God is merciful and His salvation extends to all.
God’s Hand of Mercy

Patricia Corder – With my painting, I hope to show that God’s hand was open to the people of Nineveh. Even though Jonah was filled with hate for them, God loved them. The hand is the center of attention. I want people to know that even today “God’s Hand of Mercy” is open, waiting for us to come to Him in repentance.
Yet 40 Days and Nineveh Shall Be Overthrown

John Cook – To learn from Jonah’s fantastic experience would be a priceless life lesson—to just obey God before we sink to the bottom. Yet amazingly, Jonah was still found childishly pouting and stubborn because God had been merciful to a wicked people and spared their city from destruction! Truly, how profitable it would be to swiftly and fully surrender our pride and selfishness to God’s will, an infinitely greater purpose! This is the struggle I see in the story of Jonah–when will I just completely agree with God….? Ever?…. Period!!!

Jeff Clement – This work displays God’s provision under the crushing weight of difficulty just as Jonah received comfort from the plant that provided much needed shade from the crushing desert sun. This significant moment also foreshadows God’s provision of grace for all mankind.
Lost and Found

Sandra Chai – This piece was the collaborative effort of my husband, John (carpentry), our 10-year-old daughter, Nora Grace (paper and paint), and myself (beads and glue). We endeavored to depict Jonah’s story from two perspectives: First, Jonah is seen at the moment of his greatest despair, in the belly of the fish at the bottom of the sea, utterly and hopelessly lost. But there is another, truer perspective. The words, which are excerpted from Psalm 139, speak for themselves as they trace the journey that God alone knows where Jonah will travel. And, unknown to Jonah in his misery, the very eye of God sees him even in the belly of the fish. He is, in fact, not lost but found!
