The Sign of Jonah: How Jesus Fulfilled the Ultimate Prophecy

What exactly is the sign of Jonah, and why did Jesus call it the only sign that would be given to a generation seeking proof? In this powerful and eye-opening sermon, Jared Rosenberger takes us deep into the Old Testament story of Jonah and reveals how it prophetically points to the most important event in human history: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

When the religious leaders demanded a miraculous sign to prove Jesus’ identity, He didn’t perform a spectacle. Instead, He pointed to Jonah—the prophet who spent three days and nights in the belly of a great fish. At first glance, that might seem like an odd response. But Jesus was unveiling something profound. The sign of Jonah wasn’t about the fish—it was about the resurrection. Just as Jonah emerged from the depths after three days, Jesus would rise from the grave, proving once and for all that He is the promised Messiah, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world.

This sermon goes far beyond a surface-level comparison. You’ll explore how Jonah’s journey foreshadows Jesus’ mission, how patterns of descent and resurrection appear throughout Scripture, and how the people of Nineveh’s repentance stands as a bold challenge to our own response to Christ. You’ll even see how small details—like Jonah’s location, background, and the language used in his story—echo forward into the life of Jesus.
