Genesis chapter 9 verses 20 and 21

Noah began to be a man of the soil and he planted a vineyard.

He drank of the wine and became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent.

These verses are baffling, mind-boggling, humbling to see Noah, like the righteous man who was spared out of all the people on the earth,

he and his family were spared this flood because of the favor he had before God and yet as soon

as that flood subsides and after all the grace and mercy and power that Noah had seen in God that we turn around and in the next chapter he's drunk and

shamefully uncovered in his tent like all the picture of sin it is is so pervasive. We can never ever think like we've arrived

like we were not prone to temptation anymore. Like sin's not an issue for us

anymore at least not in this world obviously there's coming a day in heaven new have a new earth like no more sin no more sin ever we long for that day because that is just not the case in this world. We are always

tempted. We're always prone to sin. And this is the picture we see all over the Bible.

Hero after Hero in a sense in the Bible, we see their flaws up close and personal.

We see that they are not perfect and ultimately they are not who we need to save us from our sin.

No, it can't save us from our sin.

He's a sinner.

Same thing with everybody to come after him.

Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, the prophets.

Yet there's one.

There's one sinless one.

There's one who never succumb to temptation.

There's one who never gave in to sin and his name is Jesus and

this sets him apart from every other person in all of history.
