BCP- Christ as the Ark

I am smitten with the image in 1st Peter. It is simply a stunning image. The very act of Christ's death and resurrection which becomes the very ark which transports us. We like Noah get the opportunity to get on board. Our baptism not as something that cleanses us but more like our passage ticket. This is so much better than two coins on our eyes for the ferryman at the river Styx...this is the invitation to enter into the kingdom now!
