1 Peter 3:18-20

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20 because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.

Talk about it:

• How many people did God save in the ark out of all the people in the world?

• How are Noah and Jesus related?

• Why didn’t God bring the flood sooner and destroy all the wickedness of the world?

• If you were living in Noah’s day, do you think you would have believed him that God told him to build an ark?

Pray about it:

Thank God for saving Noah and his family so that one day Jesus could be born as one of his far-off grandsons, making a way for us all to be saved.
