COME INTO THE ARK
TEXT: GENESIS 7:1-7
Key Verse: "And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation" (Genesis 7:1).
Noah preached a message which many people did not believe. His message to the people at that time looked like: "Rain is coming: God is going to send a great flood to destroy this wicked world. I am building an ark. Come right in so as to be saved from the flood." Yet, they could not imagine rain falling so much as to cause a great flood. So, the people did not listen; neither did they believe Noah. Many of them might have thought that thousands of years had passed from the time when God created Adam till date; yet, there was no such rain as Noah said would fall. So, they thought that there was no basis for them to believe him. Thus, they continued in their wicked ways until the flood came and swept them all away! Just eight people who were members of Noah's family entered the ark. Some animals, instead of humans, also entered into the ark.
Jesus is the Ark of salvation for the world today. As it was in the days of Noah, so it is today. Many are hearing the gospel message, but they refuse to repent and heed the invitation to come to Jesus Christ, the Ark of God. Repent today before it is too late!
Prayer: Dear Lord, count me among the righteous that will enter heaven at last.
