Day 39: In the Beginning

Yesterday we finished up our look at the covenant God makes with Noah after the flood in Genesis 9. We saw that that covenant gives us good reason to care for our world and steward it well, we saw that it ascribes intrinsic dignity to human life and looks to protect it, and we saw that it illustrated the extreme grace of God, pointing to what Jesus would do on the cross. Over the next two days, we’ll cover the very end of Genesis 9 which, compared to what we’ve just seen, is a bit more of a downer.
