291. Genesis 4- Cain: The World's First Pharisee

In this episode, we dive into Genesis 4, exploring the story of Cain and Abel as a reflection of humanity’s heart post-Fall. Cain’s offering, rooted in entitlement, contrasts sharply with Abel’s faith-driven sacrifice. This chapter illustrates the vertical and horizontal relational fractures caused by sin—first with God, then with one another. Cain’s unchecked anger leads to murder, showing how envy and entitlement corrupt deeply. God’s interaction with Cain underscores the choice between humility and destructive pride. The episode connects this story to the Gospel, where Jesus reverses humanity’s failures, offering mercy in place of vengeance. Themes of faith, forgiveness, and redemption shine, reminding us to embrace humility and grace in every aspect of life.
