And Noah went... into the ark. Genesis 7:7
By me if any man enter In, he shall be saved. John 10:9
EN 7:7{OH 10:9{Noah did not put it off. He and his family entered the selfsame day into the ark. I wonder if any of Noah's acquaintances were thinking about coming when the flood overtook them, and even coming gradually nearer! We are told that Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. Then, come thou into the Ark, that when the great and terrible day comes, you may be found of Him in peace, found in Him.
The rising tempest sweeps the sky,
The rain descends, the winds are high;
The waters swell and death and fear
Beset thy path, no refuge near:
Haste, traveler, haste!
Oh, haste! a shelter you may gain,
A covert from the wind and rain,
A hiding-place, a rest, a home,
A refuge from the wrath to come:
Haste, traveler, haste! —W. B. COLLYER
He who brings the flood has provided the Ark. And the door is open. It will be shut some day—it may be shut tomorrow. What will you do if you find yourself not shut in, but shut out? Whose fault is it if you do not enter in and be saved?
Will you not come to Him for life?
Why will ye die, oh why?
He gave His life for you, for you!
The gift is free, the word is true!
Will you not come? oh, why will you die?
