Why is Jesus Christ compared to the ark in Noah's story?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ is compared to the ark as He is the only refuge from judgment and the means of salvation for His people (John 10:9).

The ark that Noah built serves as a typological representation of Jesus Christ. Just as the ark provided safety from God’s judgment in the flood, Christ is our refuge from divine wrath. The Bible asserts that Jesus said, 'I am the door; if anyone enters by Me, he will be saved' (John 10:9). The ark had one door, symbolizing the exclusivity of Christ as the singular way to salvation. Moreover, just as the ark was designed to save Noah and his family, Christ was sent to redeem those given to Him by the Father, emphasizing that salvation is uniquely found in Him. In Christ, we find our secure hiding place from eternal damnation.
