As Easter approaches, and we begin to reflect on Good Friday and Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, we often return to the final words that Jesus spoke. One of the most striking moments is when He cries out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).

When most people think about Noah and the flood, they imagine an innocent children’s story filled with animals and rainbows. Scripture presents something far more serious. The flood narrative contains death, chaos, judgment, fear, and radical trust in God.

I was sitting at a red light the other day, watching a homeless man standing in the cold rain. We often go through the list of reasons not to help—wondering what he might spend the money on, wondering if he was scamming, wondering if it even mattered.
