All of us are prone to wander from, and even resist God at times. Jonah was not doing the right thing and now he’s caught. The message of the Gospel is for you and I, for people like us who have messed up, for people like Jonah who have blown it, and ran from God. The whole don’t need the physician, but the sick, Jesus said. And at this point, Jonah was spiritually sick, but he didn’t seem willing to admit it. Jonah just told them throw me overboard!
