Luke 24:1–6 (ESV)
1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.
2And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.
5And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
We started last week with the story of Noah in Genesis 6 and how that was a “type” of salvation that we now experience in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
The world was about as dark as you can imagine, with God deciding he was going to clear the table and destroy all that he had created in his disappointment.
Scripture says that “even the intent” of the heart of man was evil..all his thoughts, strategies and imaginations were inclined away from God and intent on wickedness….And God was done! Ever been done? Ever had that sense of justice well up in you?
Let’s be honest, sin changes relationships!
Man had chosen to sin and it changed the relationship that God had intended to have with mankind! And sin had grown too such a deep and dark place that God decided he needed to make a drastic move on the earth.
We see that the Ark was constructed of gopherwood which wouldn’t perish and was most likely shaped like a coffin with no prow or stern.
(we were buried with him in baptism)
The word pitch here is translated in the bible as “atonement”
There was only one door…Jesus said “I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me”
It had no keel or rudder and would have been directed only by God
The Ark finally came to rest on the 7th month, the 17th ...
