Hidden Sin: Crouching Lion

God, as creator, began all life as an act of love, care, nurturing, and design. God created order out of chaos, humans in the image of their divine creator, and offered humans the potential to choose good and live forever. Since humans have free choice, as opposed to creation which obeys the voice of God, we also have the potential to rebel, disobey, or choose that which is not good. Last time males and females, who were to complement each other, were divided and resisted the choice to do good.  Today, that story continues with the sons Cain and Abel, who also live in tension and against each other. This story, in Genesis 4, reminds us, once again, that all of us have the potential to do good. Open your Bibles, turn to Genesis 4, and let’s explore the God of Second Chances, as we Search for Hope in this Ancient Biblical Story.
