Genesis: The Blood That Cries

After sin is introduced into creation, we see in the story of Cain and Abel how it takes deadly effect. That is, despite multiple warnings from God, Cain becomes consumed by sin and kills his brother. And with Abel’s innocent blood calling for justice, sin seems to have secured its victory over creation as it spins further out of control. But when all hope seems lost, the Lord reminds us how one day sin will be conquered. He reminds us that one day, innocent blood would be spilled once more, this time upon on a cross taking upon the sins of the world, past, present, and future. And that blood too would cry out, not for justice, but for grace!
