On Sunday morning, we returned to the book of Genesis, looking at the covenant with Noah. After Noah, his family, and the animals left the ark, Noah sacrificed to God. He realised his unworthiness and God's grace, and God accepted the sacrifice despite Noah's sin. God reinforced that people should be fruitful and multiply as in the creation, with the addition of meat to the menu. And God promised that he would not send another great flood to destroy the world. The rainbow is the covenant sign, marking God's act of peace and his glory int he darkness. As we reflect on this, we should note the deep grace and hope expressed in this passage. Because of God's work for us in Jesus, we have hope for the future that otherwise we would not have. We have hope despite our undeserving, and hope that we need especially in dark times like the rainbow appears in dark clouds. Thank God for his provision of hope to us who don't deserve it!
