Noah and the Ark

For hundreds of years, scientists and historians have searched for evidence of Noah’s Ark. Recently, an archaeological find was made of a possible evidence for the ark dating back thousands of years. If you are interested, here is a link for more information: Noah’s Ark (I don’t necessarily agree with everything at this site, but it is interesting and compelling!)

There are many funny stories made about Noah and here is another:

Noah's Ark: Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark .

ONE: Don't miss the boat.
TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat!
THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground.
SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.
TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Before we go on, I recommend you read what the Bible has to say about Noah: Genesis 6-8

The ten points above, concerning Noah, raise a few interesting things:

Firstly, don’t miss the boat. The Bible clearly states that this world will be ended by God and we will all face judgement. Our only hope is in Jesus (i.e. the boat-simplistic illustration)!

Secondly, don’t listen to critics. I have been a Christian now for three years and the amount of people who claim the bible isn’t true or Jesus didn’t exist or evolution disproves God, is incredible. If you know the truth, then why would you settle for a lie- i.e. a life away from Jesus. Press on in Jesus, or jump on the train with Jesus.

Finally, if you have a relationship with Jesus, no matter what happens, your life today and in the future will be filled with purpose, i.e. to live for the God who created you! Therefore, there is a “rainbow” waiting. All the hard times mean something, fighting for those whom you love.

For the record, I believe the account of Noah is true as is everything claimed in the bible. God showed grace to Noah and gave him a mission. He built the boat and those who trusted God were saved from the flood. Our salvation is on offer through Jesus, turn and trust in him. Don’t merely give lip service but literally jump on the boat!

As I research science and history, my assurance of God and salvation through Jesus is affirmed. Don’t merely take on popular ideas without investigating. As the Bible says, faith come through hearing, so use your mind and deep into the truth. I tell you this, heaven will amazing and I hold it out to you in the death of Jesus in your place. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4). The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son (Revelation 21:7).

Don’t waste this life. Find the truth, which is in Jesus! Believe me, it is all worth it!
