Genesis | Cain & Abel | 3

St. Peter’s Lutheran | Genesis | June 16, 2024 | Pastor John Cordrey | The results of humanity’s disobedience begin to take shape as we hear the story of Cain and Abel.  In anger, Cain rises up to take Abel’s life, committing the first murder.  With Abel’s blood crying from the ground and Cain banished from the presence of the Lord, is there any hope of fulfilling God’s promise of one to come who will bring salvation? Following the death of a shepherd, the Lord provides a new start, a new line that will lead to a shepherd who will offer his life to bring us into a new lineage.
