MRNEo TIT nat n Thebl SentinICKPLl LEaSONABiL (By E. 0. SELLERS, Director of Eve ning Department The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 26. CAIN AND ABEL. LESSON TEXT-Genesis 4:1-15. GOLDEN TEXT-"Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer." I John 3:15. In due process of time and . in obedience to God's command (Gen. 1:28), Eve bore Adam two sons, each a very different type of manhood. Mothers ought to ponder upon the words of Eve, "I have gotten a man with the help of Jehovah." Parents should realize that it is God who sends them their children, e. g., by his help, and it is to him they n-ust give account for their nurture and up bringing. Upon reaching manhood one, Abel, became a shepherd, and the other, Cain, became a farmer. The difference in their characters, not their occupations, is illustrated by the sac rifices they brought to offer unto God. Although it is not recorded, it is highly probable that God had com manded that there should be an offer ing of blood. Sin had entered the world and we are told in Hebrews 9:22 and 10:19, 30, that only by the shedding of blood is there any re mission of sin. The blood atonement may be repugnant to some superficial thinkers, but it is not in the sight of God. It is God's way. It can be traced in the early traditions of nearly every religion. Cain's Offering. The fundamental fault was really in Cain and not in his offering. Had Cain's heart been right he would have made a proper sacrifice that would have been acceptable in God's sight, I. John 3: 12. We are told that Abel's offering was of faith, Heb. 11:4, and hence it was a more excellent sacri fice than that of Cain, for "without faith it is impossible to please God." The firstling of the flock, the lamb, was a type of that true sacrifice of fered before the foundations of the world, John 1:29. There is another fundamental difference between these two offerings. Cain's offering repre sented the labor of his own hands and was much more pleasing to the eyes than that of Abel. P God's disrespect for Cain's offering was due to sin, vv. 6. "Sin crouch eth at the door." Here sin is pictur ed as a wild beast lying at the door and ready to spring upon him who first gives entrance. God dealt in mercy with Cain, even though he 'did not accept of his offering, but Cain did not conquer the sin crouching at his door and therefore the terrible denouement. From the marginal reading (R. V.) of verse eight and also from the Sep tuagint we gather that Cain invei gled Abel into the country, having de lieaeyplanned to wreak his yen geance upon him, it being impossiblE to do so in the place where the sac rfice had been offered. Cain's anger, not only against God, but against his brother whoin God had accepted, ii evidenced today by the way the world hates those whom God accepts, John 15:19. Cain slew Abel because his own works had been evil and those ol his brother righteous. .The Old, Old Question. God gave Cain an opportunity tc confess his sin (v. 9). See I. Johr 11:9. As passion subsided Cais "saw," and "heard," even though he lied while trying to escape a jusi punishment. God's startling question has been ringing down through these ages, "Where is thy brother?" Broth. ers are being wronged, oppressed, cheated, and defrauded. Brothers are being lost for whom Christ died. In dustrial oppression, "man's Inhumani ty to man," and the "blood of right, eos Abel," shall be, Is being, and has been required of the nation, the age, yea the individual. Cain saw his lie 'was detected and so tried to excuse himself. Millions have repeated his weak excuse, "Am I my brother's keeper?" And God has thundered back the reply, "Yes." We are debtors to The penitence of Cain was -not over his guilt, but rather over the degree of his punishment, vv. 13, 14. Murder always dema.nds vengeance. Note, however, the marginal reading, "mine iniquity is greater than can be for Igiven." Thank God we have a media tor of a better covenant, Heb. 12:24. ICain made a mistake in assuming that God could be localized in one place and that he who must become a wan derer In the land, "the first colonist," would of necessity be separated from IGod's protecting care. There was the added fear of himself being slain; how doth conscience make cowards of us all." We therefore see in this lession, I., The Sons, vv. 1, 2; II., The Sacrifice, vv. 3, 7; III., the Slain Brother, vv. -10; IV., The Sentence, vv. 11-15. For the younger pupils emphasize jealousy and its developments. The fact that we are keepers of our broth ers as we deal with the sins of the day The missionary appeal can well be emphasized In connection with this lesson. The development of habits from the seed thought comes logically in this connection. But be sure to emphasize the mercy of God and sal vation through the Blood of the Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ.
