Overall Comparison (Ark’s Three Levels × Luke 15)

Genesis 6:16 Make a light-giving opening on top of the ark, a cubit high; and put the door on the side of the ark; and make the ark three stories, upper, middle, and lower.

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, having been shown by God things he had not yet seen, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family, and by this he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes by faith.

Luke 15:4 If any of you has a hundred sheep and loses one, will not you leave the other ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost one until you find it?

Luke 15:6 Then gather together your friends and neighbors and say to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the sheep I lost.”

Luke 15:8 Or if a woman has ten pieces of silver and loses one, will she not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?

Luke 15:23 And bring the fattened calf and kill it, so that we may eat and drink and be merry.”
