Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Genesis 6:18

But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

Sweet promise! Is not Noah, here again, a type of the blessed Jesus? Doubtless, it was with Jesus the covenant was made, and therefore, with Noah, as his type. In this sense, in sparing Noah, the Lord spares Noah's offspring. What a mercy is it to have godly parents, godly relations, and godly friends! But what a greater mercy to belong to Him in whom all the families of the earth are blessed. See Isaiah 59:21. Reader! while attending to this verse, search diligently for your own personal interest in it. Jesus is both the Ark and the Covenant to his people. Am I in Him! is the grand enquiry.
