In Genesis 4 we discover a God that is lonely for his child, Abel, who has just been murdered by his brother Cain. My how rapidly the venture with the devil away from God results in such a tragic event. It is hard for us to imagine what this was like for people who have yet to experience the death of another human being. Yet God puts a mark on Cain to protect him from further danger. God's mercy rises above the tragic results of sin. check out the pdf and link for the Youtube dialogue at www.rediscoveringgod.ca.
