Genesis 4 - Cain: Tragedy and Hope
Description
On Sunday morning, we looked at the account of Cain and Abel from Genesis 4. The birth of these boys was a great act of grace and hope after sin and the curse. Yet it led to tragedy with Cain killing his brother. This was a progression in sin from his parents; God warned him in advance and he did it anyway. He failed to confess and take any responsibility. Cain was both punished and shown grace. His family line went on to great things, but they did not return to God or show any interest in the things of God. This reminded us that achieving great things and having a nice life is not enough. Without God, without a right relationship with the one who made us, it will be hollow and will not satisfy. Take time to thank God for his love even to people like us who do not deserve it.
