Genesis c.7

v.1 The Lord said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.”

This is the flood. The Lord commanded Noah to enter the ark together with his family and the animals that God commanded to go into the ark to be saved.

This is just another Old Testament story. Good for telling to the children especially at Sunday school. But…hmmmm…I am thinking of the story of the flood. What does it mean?

Act 16:31… "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved---you and your family."

Imagine the ark…imagine Christ…it was faith that saved Noah (Heb. 11:7) and his family, it was faith and obedience that made Noah follow God to build that ark. But God’s second judgment will not come by water; it is by fire.

Rev 21:8 But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practice magic, those who worship idols, and all liars---the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

Imagine the ark…imagine Christ…imagine Christ…I imagine Christ as the ark inviting people to come to him, to listen to him, to follow him, like Noah and his family, like the faith of Noah…

Imagine Christ’s arms holding the faithful while the faith less are swimming in the lake of fire. Imagine the ark…imagine Christ…God is working for the salvation of man and a wooden ark will not do this time.
