225: Jonah, Jesus, and the Judgment to Come
🐋 What if the greatest sign from God isn’t flashy or new—but ancient, sobering, and easy to miss?
In this episode of the Talkin’ Bible podcast, Rohan Bell and Jeff Baxter dive into one of Jesus’ most challenging statements: “This generation seeks a sign, but none will be given except the sign of Jonah.” What did He mean? And why does it still speak directly to us today?
📖 From Luke 11:29–32, the conversation explores Jonah’s story, the repentance of Nineveh, and Jesus’ rebuke of those who demand signs yet ignore what’s already been revealed.
➡️ In this episode, we unpack:
The full backstory of Jonah beyond the fish tale
Why Jesus compares Himself to Jonah—and what that means for us
The danger of knowing the truth but refusing to respond
How even pagans repented… but the “religious” did not
What it looks like to recognise Jesus as Lord, not just miracle worker
💡 “The Ninevites repented at one sentence from Jonah. We have the whole story of Jesus—and still struggle to obey. What more are we waiting for?”
🙋♂️ Reflection questions:
Have I treated Jesus more like a vending machine than a Lord?
What part of Jonah’s story do I most identify with—his reluctance, his message, or his anger at grace?
Where in my life do I know the truth but resist surrendering to it?
