Cain and Abel: The Cost of Jealousy and Anger [Genesis 2.2]

Genesis 4:1-16 tells the story of Cain and Abel, the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain famously kills his brother, Abel, and when God confronted Cain about his crime, Cain lied and denied any knowledge of Abel's whereabouts. Seems like a familiar pattern he learned from his dad, Adam. Sin and evade responsibility! The fallout from the murder of his brother was incredible. This passage shows the destructive power of unchecked jealousy and anger and the seriousness of sin. It also reveals God's justice and mercy in punishing Cain for his crime, while also protecting him from vengeance. Do you personally see the need to turn away from sin and follow God's ways? Listen to wrestle with that question a bit!
