The One Door Puzzle

The Ark Door

“Go into the ark, you and all your household.” (Genesis 7:1)

The Bible tells us that man had become exceedingly wicked—they thought of evil continually—so God planned to flood the earth and wipe them out. He told Noah to build an Ark with one door. When God shut the door, it pictured his justice and mercy. The wicked world outside of the Ark perished, but those inside were rescued. Even in judgment, God provided mercy. Jesus is the “Ark” and “Door” of salvation. “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved...” (John 10:9). Just as Noah’s family went through one door to be saved, so must we go through the one Door, Jesus. Those outside of Christ will perish, but those in Christ will be rescued.

Just as the ark had one door (Genesis 6:16), so Jesus Christ is our one door for salvation (John 18:9)!
