Church Familly,
I do hope you all are well and finding the Lord’s presence comforting. Genesis has reminded me of both the gloriousness of the Lord and the ugliness of sin. Sunday, we explored further the effects of The Fall upon our hearts and our relationships. Cain and Abel lay before us a clear example of how sin crouches hiding around the corner, looking for a moment to pounce. Their offerings are not the issue; it’s what they say about their hearts that reveal sin’s slow work. Cain’s anger reveals a heart set upon himself and not obedience to the Lord. The jealousy he has for Abel and his hatred of the Lord rages into the unthinkable, murder. Sin was crouching in his offering; it masters him in his act of murder. Cain is a cautionary tale to us all (1 John 3:12, Jude 11, Romans 6:1-12), and Abel’s blood points to a greater One’s blood that makes the heart pure (Hebrews 12:24).
