| "What? Noah? Good-ol', ark-building, animal-collecting, only-righteous-man-on-Earth Noah?" I hear you cry! Yup. Y'see one day, a short while after his family were saved and God promised never to destroy humankind again (phew), Noah made some wine, got, ahem, quite a bit further than slightly merry, also got nekkid (sorry kids), lay in his tent (which was quietly spinning round him) and fell asleep. Erm, right. Ham, his rather amusingly named son, also messed up by going in to the tent, running out to tell his brothers how hilarious it all was and just being generally immature. Noah, upon waking, was a bit angry with young Pork (sorry, Ham), and cursed him. Bit harsh coming from a bloke who'd just become the first streaker. (Debates whether to include a streaker/streaky/bacon/Ham joke, decides against it.) Anyway, the point is that even the most righteous of us slip up. And, er, take their clothes off. Maybe. Anyway, God forgave Noah and he lived to the ripe old age of 950! God gives us gifts, and his love, unconditionally and unselfishly, even though we mess up. Read more in Genesis 9:20-29 |
