44. "Resurrection of Christ means start of a new life with Christ!" Genesis 8:4-5

 44. "Resurrection of Christ means start of a new life with Christ!"

Genesis 8:4-5 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

The ark’s passing through the water of death and coming to rest on the mountains of Ararat is a type of Christ’s passing through death and resurrecting out of death. And the death of Christ is for our salvation, to rescue us from the death because of sin. Thus, there's no forgiveness without the shedding of blood, so His own blood being offered to the heaven to save us. As we believe to Christ, we come into our senses that we are a sinner needed to repent from all of our commited sins and be willing to take Christ as a personal savior and live a ressurected life. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 

The ark resting upon the mountains, signifying resurrection with Christ. We as Christian being lifted out of the sinful world and our fleshly desires, and it is a freedom, we have now rest from the anxiety, worries and troubles of this world and from the trap of the enemies, for we have now God that we can trust and put all our hopes in Him. Christ died once for our sins. And ressurection of Christ means start of a new life with Him. New life means you change from a sinner into a godly one, righteous and faithful with God. May be this kind of life is a difficult to maintain, that's why we need to be in Christ Himself. We are not living now for ourself alone, but we are living in all aspect of our life with Jesus. Amen.
