Jesus is Noah's Ark

Noah built an ark, but he was actually painting a portrait of Jesus who was the true Ark.

     Noah's Ark had three basic elements: wood, nails,& hammer. In the same way, the cross of Jesus had these three elements :wood, nails, & hammer.

     Noah's ark had the entrance door on the side, and all must enter there, man and beast , clean or unclean. In the same way, Jesus' side was pierced by a Roman spear, and immediately blood and water came out. The blood and water has cleansed all of us, circumcised in the flesh (clean or the Jews or uncircumcised in the flesh (unclean or the gentiles) . Jesus has become the Savior to both Jews and non-Jews.

     Noah's ark was built so he and his family can be saved from the flood. In the same way, the cross of Jesus brought in a flood, but this time, it was a different flood. The flood during Noah's time was a flood of judgement and death. In Jesus's time, it was a flood of mercy, grace, healing, and blessings.

     The flood lasted for forty days. After Jesus's resurrection, He stayed on earth for forty more days before He finally ascended to heaven and sat down at the right hand of the Father (this was when all the saints buried in the city of David were raised from the grave) .

     Noah (whose name means rest) entered the ark and he and his family were saved. Finally, Jesus said to all those who are weary and burdened to come to Him and He will give them rest (Noah).
