How does the story of Noah relate to Christ's sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Noah serves as a type of Christ, illustrating His role as our salvation and the one who bears God's judgment.

In Reformed theology, the story of Noah is not only a historical account but also a typology that points to Jesus Christ. Just as Noah was commanded to construct an ark to save his family from the impending judgment, Christ, through His crucifixion, becomes our ark of safety from God's wrath. Throughout Scripture, Noah's experience foreshadows Christ’s redemptive work; both stand as figures who receive grace and provide salvation to others. The ark itself symbolizes the shelter provided by Christ, wherein believers are safe from judgment, embodying the grace and mercy of God. Thus, understanding the relationship between Noah and Christ enhances our appreciation of the Gospel.
