Speaking on this occasion, Dr Geevarghese Mar Divannasios said that human hearts can be compared to arks in the bible. There were two arks in the old testament, Noah’s ark and the ark of the covenant. “Noah’s ark had all animals, good and bad. But the covenant ark had only good things. We should make our hearts like the ark of the covenant. In that way, we can ensure that it is for Jesus to stay in,” he said.
