In Matthew, the humility of John the Baptist is something I hope to have throughout life. Even when Jesus came to him to be baptized, John's response models what I think we should aim for as Christians--we should always approach people with the greatest humility.

In Genesis, the story of the Great Flood continues to reveal God's mercy and love. Despite destruction, God makes a covenant with Noah--and this covenant is something that shows God's love for man, even though people constantly commit sin.
