Something is clearly wrong with the human race. There is daily evidence provided in our world, our homes, and our churches. The Bible’s clear and single answer is sin. Sin is deadly and deceptive, but it will ultimately be defeated. Whereas Abel’s blood cried out to God from the ground condemning Cain’s murderous anger (Genesis 4:10), Jesus’ blood “speaks a better word than the blood of Abel” (Hebrews 12:24). Jesus’ blood cries out to the Father “mercy, forgiveness, pardon, cleansing, and salvation to all who believe.”
