Where are Your Ravens?

Noah's Ark:  Part III - The Internship Part II 
                                                                 Genesis cc. 6-8

     Glad to see you came back!  We stopped yesterday at the door, and that is where we will pick up today!

     Gen. 6:16..."...the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof;..."  Before we go any further let me remind you that, ( 1 ) The name Jesus was given much esteem...( Philippians 2:9 ), ( 2 ) "...no man cometh unto the Father, but by me...Jn. 14:6", ( 3 ) the door was set in the side of the ark.  Now if I am reading correctly, decently and in order, let us take another look at v. 16.


     You have the window ( the way; Jn. 14:6 above ), above ( highly exalted; Php. 2:9 ), and then the door set in the side and finally, look close, with ( after the door is set ) lower, second ( the Holy Spirit ), and third stories ( the Father ).  Why is this so important to you Bro. Mark you ask? I'll do my best to explain.  ( Do remember Noah is building this from the ground up! )

     We've established that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life...Jn. 14:6, and that His name ( Jesus ), is above every name, even that of the Father and the Holy Spirit's names ( Php. 2:9 ).  So now I want us to notice once again the placement of the door ( Jesus ).  It is set in the side below the window ( the way...Jesus ), yet above the lower two stories ( highly exalted ) by the Father and the Holy Spirit...Whew! Amen!...and we aren't even done yet!

     One last passage of Scripture should suffice to bring all this together.  Turn to John 19:28-37.  Read this and then go back to verse 34.

 

     Scripture says..."But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His SIDE, and forthwith came there out blood and water."

     Finally my friend, we have Jesus (the window, the way ) placed as a way of receiving and seeing the light ( Jesus ).  He is "highly" exalted above by the Father and the Holy Spirit ( the foundation / the functioning ).  And as from His side the blood and water flowed to make for us a way to the Father, such then the placement of the door on the ark becomes very important.  When in it's lowered position ( open ) and with the working of the Holy Spirit ( Jn. 12:32 ) we are drawn upwards to the Son, and upon entering ( accepting Christ as the only "way"; Romans 10:9, 10, 13 ), Well glory!, we are ushered into the very presence of God Himself and to the power of His Holy Spirit.   Heyman!

Hoping that today finds you "In His Grace"
