Abel's Blood Is Still Crying Out, and So Is Christ's - Jamie Franklin

Send us Fan MailEvery branch that bears fruit, he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit. Most of us have heard John 15 preached before. This episode slows down on one word most people skip past: abide. In the Greek it's meno, the same word used to describe staying, remaining, and enduring, and it's the same word Jesus uses for Himself remaining in the Father. Abiding isn't a feeling, it's a decision to stay.From there this episode digs into something easy to miss: the difference between logos (the eternal Word, Christ Himself) and rhema (the spoken, active word), and how Hebrews 12:24 ties directly back to Genesis 4, where Abel's blood cries out from the ground. In Hebrew, that word is plural. It's not just Abel's blood crying out, it's the entire lineage that never got to be born, crying out for justice. But Christ's blood speaks a better word than Abel's ever did. Not justice. Mercy.Scripture referenced: John 15:1-11, Hebrews 12:24, Genesis 4:10"If Christ's word abides in you and his blood is still speaking over you, that's not a memory. That's the ground you're standing on right now."Subscribe so you don't miss the next one, leave a rating and review, and share this with someone who needs a firmer foundation.Dwelling Place Lithia Lithia, FLSupport the show
