Walk Like a Man (2 of 5)
Series: Children's Stories (Part 1)
Jeff Strite
Genesis 5:21-24
(Pretended to read from a Children's Book from a stool onstage)
You know your mommy and daddy love you very much and they try to teach you how to grow up to be a young man they can be proud of. Well, back in the Old Testament there was a daddy who tried to do that with his kids. His name was Enoch, and he was the father Methuselah (the oldest man who ever lived) and the great-grandfather of Noah. Noah was such a righteous man that God picked him to build a giant boat called the ''Ark'' that carried all kinds of animals.
Methuselah and Noah grew up to be such great men, partly because Enoch was a great man. We're told that the one thing Enoch liked to do - above everything else - was to walk with God. In fact, Enoch walked with God so much that one day God told him ''It's too far to go back; why don't you just come on home with me.'' And so, Enoch just went up to heaven with God ... and he never died.
SERMON: Our text today is from Genesis 5:21-24 ''When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Thus, all the days of Enoch were 365 years. Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.''

Someone once noted that Genesis chapter 5 is often called the Graveyard Chapter of Scripture. It tells us Adam lived 930 years and had several sons and daughters... and then he died. Then Seth lived 912 years and had sons and daughters... then he died. Enosh lived 905 years and had several children... and then he died. And on and on. It didn't matter how long they lived - eventually they died. Eight men are listed here, and they all lived a long time, had kids... and then they died. (vss. 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 27, and 31)
This is the Graveyard Chapter of Genesis. Everybody died! (pause)
Well, they all died except one man. (pause) Enoch... didn't die. Hebr ...
