Genesis 4:10. What Have You Done?

on


Genesis 4:10 “And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.” 

        God doesn’t argue with Cain’s snappy retort. Instead, He asks a powerful rhetorical question to drive home to Cain the heinous nature of the crime he has just committed. Then God takes up the victim’s case. Like a loud voice, the blood of the faithful martyr always has God’s attention, and He will mete out justice for His people who have been wronged, abused and killed.  The heart-wrenching cry of Abel’s flesh and blood parents no doubt also rang loud in God’s ears as they grieved their double bereavement: a son murdered and a son lost in the dark labyrinths of stubbornness, pride, envy, hatred and self-justification.

The Word of God is bread from heaven. God sent it, but we must gather it, appreciate it, digest it, and live by it. These days it is increasingly scarce. Many are starving for it and don't know it because they keep feasting on bad bread that doesn't satisfy. But if we would learn to carefully gather up the fragments of the True, Heavenly Bread of Life, we would always enjoy a feast of crumbs, because even God's crumbs are miracles mighty to save (Mark 7:24-30). ESPAÑOL: La Palabra de Dios es pan del cielo. Dios lo envió, pero debemos recogerlo, apreciarlo, digerirlo y vivir por él. Hoy en día es cada vez más escaso. Muchos están muriendo de hambre por falta de él sin saberlo porque se alimentan de pan falso que no satisface. Pero si aprendiéramos a recoger cuidadosamente los fragmentos del Verdadero Pan Celestial, Pan de Vida, siempre disfrutaríamos de un banquete de migajas, porque hasta las migajas de Dios son milagros poderosos para salvar (Marcos 7:24-30).
