A Strange New Flood
A Strange New Flood
Come then and see, this new and
strange flood, greater and more
powerful than that which occurred in the days
of Noah. There the
water of the flood destroyed the human
race; but here the water
of baptism, by the power of him who is
baptized in it, has called
back the dead to life. There the dove
carried the olive branch in its
beak, denoting the fragrance of the sweet-smelling
savor of the Lord
Christ, but here the Holy Spirit, descending
in the form of a dove,
reveals to us the presence of our
merciful God.
