Dear Friends,
Here’s an interesting story: Dutchman launches life-size replica of Noah’s Ark
Johan Huibers of the Netherlands has completed construction of a full-sized ark with the dimensions given to Noah in the Bible (Genesis 6).
Why? He wants to make people think what their purpose is on Earth. Huibers said, ‘I want to make people question that so that they go looking for answers,’ and ultimately find salvation through God and eternal life.
Also interesting: “Huibers is also working on a new dream, perhaps even more unlikely than the first one: he wants to get Israelis and Arabs to cooperate and build a water pipeline from the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea.” How could this sort of cooperation between enemies be possible? With Christ, of course! I think of Acts 8 when Jewish Christians proclaim the gospel to their historical enemies, the Samaritans: “Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there… When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit… When they had testified and proclaimed the word of the Lord, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.” In Christ we are unified (Eph 4:4-6).
Sincerely,
Katie
P.S. Don’t worry, the tiger above is a stuffed animal. Many fake furry friends have gathered two-by-two for refuge on the ark.
