Rainbow (3)

According to the bible, a rainbow appears after floods, it's the mark of agreement made between God and Noah and all living beings. 'When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow appears in the clouds,I will recall the covenant I have made between me and you and all living beings, so that the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all mortal beings.' (genesis 9:14-15)

It's hard to believe that God is so forgetful, he has to make a mark to remind himself. Actually, is man himself so forgetful? Man has forgotten he is made and loved by God, but believes the lies of snake, forgets everyone is his brother and sister and takes an internecine struggle.

Indeed, rainbow is a mark, not to remind God, but to remind ourselves; not to remind us that we have been falling down, have been lost, but to remind us even fall down, even lose, we can try again, because rainbow appears after rain, because HE still loves.

Yes, we can re-start again. Thus, falling down once will not be a life-long regret, losing once will not become endless perished, 'so that the waters shall never again become a flood'.

'I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.' (1John 2:1-2)
