Reconciliation through Christ Alone
In order for us to understand the significance of Easter, we must first understand what happened at the beginning of creation. We cannot understand the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ without first exploring how it all began--in the garden of Eden. When this is accomplished, however, every story in the Bible falls into place and the story of the Bible points to one person--the person of Jesus Christ.

Creation Destroyed in Judgment - Genesis 7:1-24
Often when a danger is around for a long time we start to live as if the danger does not exist. That is no more true than in terms of the final judgment. The flood of the world is a reminder of the fact that God will judge wickedness and evil, and at the same time it points us to the hope God provides.

Remembrance of Things to Come
The Hebrew scriptures during Lent this year focus on the faithfulness of God, who makes covenant with us. Today, we recall that God, distressed over the sinfulness of humankind, begins to regret creating it, and determines to destroy the earth and most of its people and even its animals. Only Noah and his family, and a pair of each kind of animal, will be saved to populate the world over again. It rained for 40 days, and the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days. At the end of it, only those who were taken into the ark Noah built at God’s command are left alive.
