Text: Genesis 6: 9-12

MEDITATION

Genesis 6:9-12

9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. Genealogy of Noah

a. This was simple and straightforward.
b. The past was not recorded.
c. Only the present: Noah and his three sons were named (Shem, Ham and Japheth).

2. The earth in the days of Noah

a. It was essentially “corrupt”.
b. Violence seems to be the order of the day.

3. God’s assessment of the state of affairs on earth

a. It was indeed corrupt.
b. All who dwelt on earth was blameworthy of corruption.

4. Noah stood out in stark contrast

a. He was a just man. He had a good sense of right and wrong.
b. “Perfect in his generations”
i. His behaviour was compared to that of others who dwelt on earth.
ii. The word “perfect” does not mean “sinless”. His life was outstanding in direct contrast to the corrupt earth.
c. “Noah walked with God”
i. This was similar to what Enoch did (Genesis 5:24).
ii. His walk with God helped preserve his way of life significantly.

沉思

《创世记 6：9-12》
9挪亚的后代记在下面。挪亚是个义人，在当时的世代是个完全人。挪亚与神同行。
10挪亚生了三个儿子，就是闪、含、雅弗。
11世界在神面前败坏，地上满了强暴。

12神观看世界，见是败坏了，凡有血气的人，在地上都败坏了行为。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 挪亚的后代

a. 这个记录既简单又明了
b. 过去的没有被记载
c. 只从当下开始记载：挪亚和他三个儿子（闪、含和雅弗）

2. 挪亚时代的世界

a. 它本质上已经“败坏”了
b. 强暴的行为是常见之事

3. 上帝对当代世界状态的评估

a. 它确实败坏
b. 凡在世上的，对世界的败坏都有责任

4. 挪亚与当代的人形成了强烈的对比

a. 他是个义人。他是非分明。
b. “在当时的世代是个完全人”
i. 挪亚的行为与当代的人形成了对比
ii. “完全”不意味着“无罪” 挪亚杰出的生命直接对比了当世的败坏
c. “挪亚与神同行”
i. 挪亚和以诺一样 《创世记 5：24》
ii.与上帝同行保持了挪亚生命的道
