In crime movies, when the bad guys are caught and the police are busting up their operation, they might say "the jig is up, boys." In other words, "we've been caught." When it comes to our own sin, we like to hide it and cover it up, but God will reveal our sin if it means accomplishing His will.

In our passage, Jonah gets caught in his disobedience, his sin. Although none of us have been called to rise and go to Nineveh, we all have a command from the Lord that we're expected to obey.

Are you required to obey your parents? What about God? Surprisingly, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, you absolutely are required to. God doesn't give you an alternative, you're commanded to obey Him and your parents. Also no, you have a sense of independent will and you can refuse to serve the Lord and disobey your parents. It's not a wise choice, to say the least, and we'll see as we dive into the text that Jonah has begun to take the latter route himself!

Have you ever heard of what's called "narrative building?" It's kind of like when someone starts a rumor about you. They begin to 'build' a 'narrative' or a story about you that's either false or only half true and then it's professed as if it's completely true. It's one way that people can start drama with us and Jesus can identify with us in it. People did it all the time in His earthly ministry and they still do it today! They create a narrative about who He is that simply isn't true. So how do you know what narrative or testimony about Him is true?
