Saving the World
Noah was called to save humanity from destruction. We are called to that same task. Our method is very different from his, though. His ark was gopher wood, and was designed to preserve a tiny remnant of humanity, leaving the rest outside the safe place to pay for their sin and be destroyed.
Our Ark is the One Who paid for humanity’s sin, inviting humanity into the safe place to be preserved. Noah’s assignment was to prepare an ark. Our assignment is to enter the Ark that has been prepared, and invite those around us to join us there.
We are charged with the impossible task of seeing them saved in-place. Even to make disciples of nations (Matthew 28:18-20). We are called to lead nations to obey His commandments, and to be converted from being goats to being sheep (Matthew 25:31-46). The impossible task will become possible as we submit our lives to Him and each discover and then do our part.
Be awesome together. Be the body.
