Matthew 24:39 – “And they were unaware until the flood came, and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
The doom was universal. Neither rich nor poor escaped: the learned and the illiterate, the admired and the despised, the religious and the profane, the old and the young all sank in one common ruin. Some had doubtless ridiculed the preacher, but where were their merry jests now? Others had threatened Noah for his zeal, which they regarded as madness. What happened to their boastings, hard speeches and criticisms?
Those who spoke patronizingly of Noah’s faithfulness to his convictions, but did not share them, have sunk to rise no more, and the workers who for pay helped to build the wondrous ark are all lost also. The Flood swept them all away and made no single exception. Even so, nothing can save a single soul who has not believed in the Lord Jesus.
How incredible was the general apathy! They were all eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the awful day dawned. There was not one wise individual upon earth outside of the ark. Folly duped the whole race: folly as to self-preservation, folly in doubting the most true God. All men are negligent of their souls until grace gives them reason; then they leave their madness and act like rational beings, but not until then; from the most seemingly timid human being and animal as well as to most seemingly courageous of the same, all are safe in Jesus and so is my soul in Him.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
