God’s good news of a covenant

Genesis 9.8-17

After the flood, God tells Noah that a covenant is to be made with all living creatures, that there will never be another event like the flood, in which God destroys everything and begins again. The rainbow is a sign and a reminder of this covenant.

We explore the rainbow, a sign of God’s promise never to stop loving our whole planet and everything in and on it – no matter what. Jesus’ baptism shows Jesus tuned into God’s steadfast love, able to hear God’s voice, respond to God’s Spirit. We are invited to relish God’s love, to start afresh in our appointed role helping God to love and care for the planet.
