First Noah and the Ark Now Jesus

Long ago...  As God seen the 
wickedness of mankind.
Noah was the only righteous
 man he could find.

He gave Noah instructions
 to build a large boat
To be filled with every animal...
 from a giraffe to a goat.

This ask would be built
 in 120 years.
Put together by much 
sweat and tears.

No one believed Noah that the 
rain would come.
When the rain came.  
There was nowhere to run.

The ark was their only refuge. 
 The only safe place.
While God destroyed much
 of the human race.

Jesus is the ark today. 
 A place of refuge for you.
Through the adversities of life.  
He will see you through!

The door to this ark will be 
shut so very soon!
So come in right now.  
While there is still room!
