Noah Was Listening

In the story of Noah and the ark, we ask ourselves, “Didn’t God care enough to speak to anyone else but Noah?” “Wasn’t there enough wood for a thousand arks?” “Why couldn’t thousands have been saved, rather than just one family?”

And the truth is that God probably did speak to every man, woman and child…but the sad fact remains that only Noah listened, only Noah heard, and obeyed!

God is trying to say something to us! In the message of Easter, and in the power of the resurrection, God is telling us something…there is HOPE, and there is LIFE…life everlasting!

Economic recession and taxes may engulf me, but I am not afraid! I may lose my job, I may lose my health, I may lose my friends, but I have not lost my HOPE! When I am on the side of Christ, I am on the side of victory! When I have been raised with Him, the world cannot harm me! Nuclear warfare may destroy me, but though I die, yet shall I live!

This is a message clearly written for all to see. This is the story of a great stone rolled away from the tomb, and an empty grave. This is God’s answer to all the gloomy predictions and the dismal miseries mankind has brought upon his fellow-man.

God is not dead! God is alive! And that makes my future bright…if I listen, that is, and if I obey!
