SCRIPTURE READING
"And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”
8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. (Genesis 4:3-8)

Have you ever seen a loose thread on a piece of clothing? Sometimes when we see them, the biggest temptation is to pull at it right away, but that can be the wrong thing to do. Why? Because pulling at one thread out of frustration can sometimes cause an entire piece of clothing to come apart. Simply put, if the thread is connected to a critical piece, and the connection is broken, it can make destroy everything. This is one of the lessons we learn from Cain and Abel. Cain's decision to kill his brother out of anger and jealousy not only harmed Abel, but also harmed other people, including Cain himself.
Who else was affected by Cain's decision to kill Abel?
