Noah 3: The Children of Noah
Read this quote from the New Testament. This was at the end of His days on earth and He said this about His return. Note: the “Son of Man” was a term the Messiah used about Himself.
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24: 37 – 39)
What were people doing before the flood?
How is our generation different than Noah’s?
Who was saved from the flood?
It took Noah many, many years to build the ark. The Bible calls Noah a “preacher of righteousness”. During all of those years people saw the ark but did not get right with God.
What happened to the majority of the people?
How does God feel about sin?
The Bible says: “The wages of sin is death”. Think back on the stories of Adam and Noah. In light these stories, what do you think this means?
Next week we will begin looking at God’s solution to man’s sin problem.
