Noah would have been a child of Cain instead of a child of Abel if
he had built a canoe, boat or raft according to his own specifications.
Abraham, Noah and Moses are children of
Abel in that the respected the call to communication and relationship with the
Lord. This is the faith of Abraham. It is the faith of Abel. Cain said that
Daddy said that God said, ".. you shall till and live from the
earth." He must have become confident reciting this old command of the
Lord given to his father but this command did not exclude daily relationship
and this is where Cain fell short. The Lord invited Him to such relationship
and he rejected it in favor of his impatient, angry feelings. What
explains Cain’s reactions to Abel? He was just as favored in terms of his
invitation to relationship. Choose to walk in the faith in Abraham( “I am a
messianic Jew..I am walking in the faith of Abraham”) and recite this choice a few times. It is like submitting to
the fact that you do not know what day you will die.
