Lesson: 104 Lesson Name: Cain and Abel
Theme: Only One Way is Right Reading: Genesis 4:1-17, 25-26 Memory Verse: Hebrews 11:4
Memory Verse Text: Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. Attention Getter: If you could visit the Prime Minister, President, Queen, etc., what would you bring, if you could, that they would want? Point 1: Cain and Abel were raised in the same home. They had heard the same stories; likely the story of Adam and Eve's sin was the story told most of all. Perhaps it was a favorite because it was true and had a good ending.
Point 2: Both must have given thought about how they, as individuals, could come to God. Have you? Each of us has to come to God on our own! No one else can do it for you. When you come to God, you would probably think about what kind of a person you would be coming to. How would they know what God was like? From their parents!
Point 3: God respected Abel and what he brought. Why? God refused Cain and what he brought. Why? Yet God spoke to Cain even after he made his offering in self-will.
Point 4: The consequences of Cain's offering: Brought judgment on him. The outcome of Abel's: God accepted the offering for him and Abel went to be with his God. Illustration: Story of a child or driver who went the wrong way! Summary: We can't go wrong if we go God's way!
