And there is no end to His goodness. There is no end to His greatness. We will never tire of this life. And it starts now. That's the picture. So when we share the word, that's what we share.

TWO BROTHERS WENT OUT TO MAKE TWO OFFERINGS. ONE BROTHER OFFERED TO THE LORD THE FIRSTLINGS OF THE FLOCK. A PERFECT LAMB WAS KILLED, AND THE BLOOD OF THAT LAMB WAS OFFERED TO THE LORD AS AN ATONEMENT FOR SIN.

AND WHAT YOU HAVE HERE ARE TWO BROTHERS, TWO OFFERINGS, TWO RELIGIONS, AND TWO DESTINIES. NOW ABEL, AS YOU WILL REMEMBER, OFFERED THE VERY BEST, THE FIRST LING OF THE FLOCK TO THE LORD. WHY?
