Genesis Week 8 - Babel

This chapter reveals once again how desperately we need God’s intervention. We see here the people’s; “Come, let us make; Come let us build…” contrasted with God’s; “Come, let us go down and disperse….” Left alone we choose our own way, we seek to glorify ourselves, to stay put and establish our own mini kingdoms. Without the ‘But Gods’ of our lives we would not, could not, follow Him or obey His instructions to disperse, be fruitful, and multiply. 

God’s command from the very beginning has been to go into all the earth declaring the praises of Him who made us – that all the world would surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord. Come, let us deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow Jesus. For His name alone is worthy of all Praise.
