This weeks Teaching Creation Thursdays is brought to you by Dr. Derek P. Blake. He is sharing with us his thoughts and a story on Noah and The Flood.
The story of Noah’s Ark and The Flood has always fascinated me. It is a story of righteousness, redemption, and also a story of destruction and the result of sin. It isn’t just a cute little story of a man building a boat and saving animals by having two of every kind come on the boat while it rained a little bit.
Indeed, it is a real story about a real, righteous man who found favor with God. It is a story about a man who obeyed, and did that, which in the eyes of worldly wisdom was nonsensical. Through his obedience God saved this one family who truly loved Him, as well as a remnant of animals to start fresh on earth. Yet also, it is a story of sin, and the result of sin: death. A lot of people and animals died because of the wickedness of mankind.
