Abel Background
Abel was the second son of Adam and Eve
He was the younger brother of Cain
His name in Hebrew means “breath” or “vapor”
It is thought that the reason his name was Abel was a connection with his early death
He was a shepherd
Abel brought the “firstborn” of his flock, signifying obedience to God
Jesus describes Abel as the first martyr (A person who suffers death for his or her faith or convictions) while connecting his murder with the murder of the prophets in Matthew 23:35 and Luke 11:51
Abel’s blood vs Jesus blood
This verse is important because essentially it is saying that Abel’s blood brings condemnation but Jesus blood brings redemption.
Thus Jesus blood was superior.
The author of Hebrews still commends the faith of Abel and says it still reaches people today because of that faith Hebrews 11:4
Cain and Abel
In verse 2 we learn that Cain would work the ground and Abel would become a shepherd of flocks
In verse 3 and 4 we hear that Cain offers some of the lands produce to the Lord and we also hear that Abel presented an offering of the firstborn of his flock and their fat portions
The language here of “firstborn” for Abel and “some” for Cain explains why God accepted Abels and not Cains
It wasn’t that Abel gave him livestock and Cain didn’t but Abel gave the first born and Cain gave “some” produce.
Cain was angry about this and would go on and proceed to kill Abel
Lessons from Abel
God wants your best
You never know when you are out of time.
Glorify Christ in and out of season
God looks at your obedience with favor
