In the Beginning Man - Part III - A Tale of Two Brothers

In Genesis 4, Cain’s story is more than the first murder—it’s a mirror reflecting the dangers of unchecked pride and self-centeredness. Cain the Narcissist refused to look inward when God confronted his heart, choosing resentment over repentance. His wounded ego birthed jealousy, and jealousy turned to violence. Then came Cain the Notorious—marked not only by his sin, but by his alienation from God and man. This passage reminds us that when worship becomes about self instead of surrender, sin crouches at the door, waiting to rule us. Yet even in judgment, God’s mercy is seen—He marks Cain not for fame, but for grace.
