God so loved the world...
God is a jealous God. God is a wrathful God. God is a loving
God. God is God. When I was a child the idea of God was frightening to me. I saw Him as a bearded guy who could stomp his foot and shake the universe. A Spirit so all-encompassing I couldn’t take in His magnitude and it scared me
to think some One knew everything about me. The story in Genesis about the
flood is a reminder that God did run out of patience and stomp his foot. Only Noah and his family were spared. How much of this story can be put into an
historical context? What can we learn from this horrific event? Is it that God so loved the world He
wanted to purge it of selfish behavior and destructive choices? In time He would take a
different approach to alter the course of human affairs. God so loved the world
that He gave His son that we might be saved. A babe in a manger. A man on a
Cross. Christ arisen. Grace unlimited.
