Kirk Reflections 15th September 2024.
Rev. Erick du Toit brings this week's reflection from Kirkliston Parish Church, Scotland.
ORIGINS IV: Sin & Grace
(Genesis 4:8 NIV) "Now Cain said to his brother Abel, 'Let's go out to the field.' While they were out in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.”
It’s unimaginable that people would murder, isn’t it?
Yet, it happens daily around the world.
It’s like we simply can’t help or manage ourselves. Our anger and hatred leading to acts of violence. We see the very act play out early in Genesis as Abel is killed by his brother Cain.
What drove him to kill? Was it Abel’s fault? Was it God’s fault? What could he have done differently to avoid this destructive sin? And what does it teach us about human nature and God?
