In Genesis 6, we see a dark chapter in human history where sin and wickedness abound. The world has become corrupt, and God’s heart is grieved. Yet, amidst this darkness, there is a glimmer of hope. God finds favor in Noah, a righteous man who walks with Him. God reveals His plan to bring a flood to cleanse the earth of evil, but He also provides a way of salvation. He instructs Noah to build an ark, and through this ark, Noah and his family are saved from the floodwaters. This narrative foreshadows the ultimate salvation that will come through Jesus Christ, the Ark of our salvation, who provides a way for us to be saved from the judgment of sin. Despite the darkness, God’s plan for redemption shines brightly through Noah and points to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ.
