The other leads to God saying, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant.'

“John 17 is the Taj Mahal of Jesus’ prayers. It’s the longest recorded prayer of Christ, often called the High Priestly Prayer. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preached 48 sermons on it.

Cain had a difficult time watching his brother's success and coming up empty on his alter.  He knew he wasn’t the farmer type but thought his gardening expertise would pay off in the end.  He knew God would love his fruit even though the standard had been the sacrifice of an animal.  He worked the soil and did everything he could to yield the best crops he could to give to God.   Now we know,...
