Noah Obeyed God No Matter What

Notice that Noah didn't disobey God's plan by trying to save those people. He must have had lots of relatives in the water below, but he obeyed God and left them where God wanted them to be.

I took this picture last weekend at a museum because it broke my heart.

It wrecked me actually.

You may not be able to tell, but this is from a display of Noah and the Ark.

The boat was in place.

Noah and his family were inside.

The waters were rising.

And there were people on the highest points, crying out for entry.

And that's really what it must have been like.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine watching a life boat float away and realizing you had completely missed it.

Can you imagine standing on a high mountaintop, holding your babies while water continued to come towards you.

Can you just imagine?

One of my students asked me, "why didn't Noah just open the door and let them in?"

And I had to give her this sobering answer:

The word of God says that the Lord sealed them in.

God said enough is enough and time is up.

And He literally SEALED the door.

No getting out, no coming in.

People mocked Noah for building the ark.

They continued on with their lives, not realizing how close eternity was for them.

They were eating, drinking, and marrying.

They were birthing children.

They were living their lives, and they didn't realize how serious it was.

They didn't realize there was salvation if they would only listen and believe.

And that's where we're at today friends.

Time is running out and the Lord is about to seal some doors.

But you don't have to perish- just call upon His name.

If you are in bondage, He can break it.

If you are in sin, He can cleanse you.

If you have a bad past, join the club.

God is no respecter of persons.

But you must repent.

Oh, if you don't know Him you are in serious trouble!

Call out to Him tonight and surrender your life to Him.

He will take you as you are, but you must surrender.

We never know when our last breath will happen, and what a terrifying thing to enter into eternity without the blood of Jesus as your covering.

This is serious.

Time is short.

Today is the day of salvation.

And PS. He really, really, REALLY loves you and wants you with Him.

It's not too late to cry out and let Him cover you
