Our Ark is Christ

Noah's Ark

Noah's ark had a door (Genesis 6:16). Noah and his family went into the ark for deliverance from the flood (Genesis 7:16). God told Noah and his family to "Go" forth from the ark (Genesis 8:16).

Our Ark is Christ

He is "the door" (John 10:-9). He delivers us from the consequences of sin (Galatians 1:4). God tells us to "Go" forth with Christ proclaiming the good news (Matthew 28:19).

"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us - baptism - (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him" (1 Peter 3:18-22; NKJV).
