Here we go….I’ll start with
Noah’s story. The flood of Noah’s time showed that sin carried a decisive consequence.
The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. God made a way
of escape. God Himself offered redemption for all who would believe. Noah
preached for 100 years that judgement was on the way, a flood. People refused
to give any credence to Noah’s warnings. God, Himself, shut the door of the ark
just before the rains began. Time came when there was no more opportunity to be
saved. The deluge came. There is an end coming to time itself; an end to all injustice,
all deceit, all deception, all self-centeredness, all pride and prejudice, all
evil, all wrongdoing, all inhumanity, all sin. There is a judgement coming that
will sweep away all who choose to continue to hold on to sin as a way of trying
to make them whole again. But God has made a way for all who will believe to be
rescued, to be made new, even now, with a new heart and a new spirit, a new
spiritual DNA. Noah’s ark is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. In Him, all who
will believe will be saved of the judgement that is coming. Not only that, but
they will begin to experience life, true humanity in an everlasting
relationship with Jesus Christ that will begin to transform life itself.
