Matthew 24:39
“They were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away . . .”
All who were in the ark were safe. Nobody fell out of that divinely-appointed refuge; nobody was dragged out; nobody died in it; nobody was left to perish in it. All who went in came out unharmed. They were all preserved in it; they were all safely brought through the dreadful catastrophe. The ark preserved them all, and so will Jesus Christ preserve all who are in him. Whoever may come to him shall be secure. None of them shall perish, neither shall any pluck them out of his hand. Think what strange creatures they were that were preserved! Why, there went into that ark unclean animals two and two. May God bring some of you who have been like unclean animals unto Christ; great swine of sin, you have wandered furthest in iniquity and defiled yourselves, yet when the swine were in the ark they were safe, and so shall you be. You ravens, you black ravens of sin, if you fly to Christ he will not cast you out, but you shall be secure. If electing love shall pick you out, and effectual grace shall draw you to the door of that ark, it shall be shut upon you and you shall be saved. Within that ark there was the timid hare, but its timidity did not destroy it; there was the weak cony, but despite its weakness, in the ark it was completely safe. There were to be found such slow-moving creatures as the snail, some darkness-loving creatures like the bat, but they were all safe; the mouse was as safe as the ox, the snail was as safe as the greyhound, the squirrel was as secure as the elephant, and the timid hare was as safe as the courageous lion—safe, not because of what they were, but because of where they were, namely in the ark.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
