One family.
Noah’s family.
Became many nations.

A picture of God’s abundant grace and faithfulness to His covenant.
Men’s hearts had not changed. Every intent still evil.
But God’s heart does not change either.

After the flood of His wrath.
He blessed all with grace.

From this one family.
Comes Jesus.
Who endured the flood of God’s wrath once and for all.
That we might know the sheer magnitude of His grace.

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits — to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also… It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ… 1 Peter 3:18-21 NIV
