Look, there's a reason Abel's offering was loved , and Cain's was despised....

I was going to leave this alone because I liked the joke and didn't want to bother it.
But I accidentally replied to this post instead of the other Zion one.
So might as well tell you that this one made me chuckle but the Zion one made me laugh out loud.

BIBLE LESSON FOR TODAY:

Some scholars theorize that Able sacrificed the best lamb and perhaps even the first born.
Something Pure and that was an actual sacrifice to Able.
Cain decided to go around and pick up the worst fruit.
The bruised or rotting fruit.
Fruit that he wouldn't use and therefore God found his sacrifice unworthy, but God gave him a way out or a way of redemption.

Another theory is that God requires a blood sacrifice, but I tend to believe that the problem was what I listed above as the two differences.
Of course, we find out later, down the road, that Obedience is far greater than Sacrifice.
God wants us to listen, he doesn't need our sacrifice as he owns and requires it all.
100% not 10%.

Genesis 4:1-16
1 Samuel 15:22
John 14:15
Proverbs 21:3
Romans 6:16

Song Reco if you made it this far.
Keith Green was kind of a big deal there for a moment.
Some think people were looking too much on him rather than Jesus.
The first link is more of the studio version and the 2nd is a rare video of a live performance.
Either way, pretty good song...

(I don't need your money; I want your life is a pretty darn good lyric and I'm pretty sure that is how God feels)
