Reading the story of Cain and Abel, it can be easy to get haughty and put ourselves into the place of Abel, as most of us will never physically murder another person. Hebrews 12:22-24 – …you have come to…Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.Īs I was researching and studying for the sermon in Genesis 4 on the story of Cain and Abel, it occurred to me that there are many connections and correlations between Cain killing Abel and Jesus’ sacrificial life and death to save humanity.
