An Ark Made of Gopher Wood

“Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. (Genesis 6: 14)

Gopher wood is wood that is cut and shaped with an axe. The ark of God was not to be a make shift raft. It was not to be anything a man could do himself and by whatever means he could find to do it with. The ark was a vessel given of God’s design with a purpose and end. Every piece must be cut and shaped to an exact specification; every board and beam hued for a certain place and a necessary end. Though God told him in general what this vessel would be; He did not give him all the details at once. The ark was a revelation of one hundred and twenty years.

I see in this ark a picture of the ministry of Christ to a condemned world. God did not give this revelation directly to the seven other souls he intended to save but choose one man and through him made his will and way to be known (Romans 10: 13-17, I Corinthians 1: 18-24). God selected a certain place to do the work and there is where his servant set before the people each piece in the detail of God’s revelation to him. Those who heard him preach took the pieces and followed his instructions and joined one to another until at last there stood before their eyes a great vessel sufficient to save all that God had purposed to save.

This is the life of a true minister of the gospel. He is not involved in all the petty issues of the world but taken up completely with this one task. He spends his days in the tall timber of God’s word selecting the right tree for the right purpose. Then, according to that holy unction of God, he chips away at the pieces until at last he can set before those who are there each piece of the vessel of mercy God has purposed to provide. Those who hear him receive the pieces from his hands and see for themselves as the vessel comes to its completion. Seeing for themselves, they are persuaded of its sufficiency and willingly walk through the door and wait on God to shut them in.
