So then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”Ĩ Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field. God is finding favor in Abel’s very sacrificial gift, but not so much in Cain’s gift out of his surplus. Yet, Jesus found favor in a poor woman who gave her last two pennies as a true sacrifice because that was all she had left to give. This principle is echoed in another story about how the righteous religious leaders would be very boisterous in their giving of what they had left over. What He wants from us is our obedient hearts. I want to begin by saying that God does not need our stuff, nor does he need our money. Let’s take a second to dive into why the amount of their offerings is essential to this story. Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. Over the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord (offerings were what you presented to God as a sacrifice prior to the death of Jesus, but that’s another blog).Ībel also brought an offering – fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. Adam and Eve, earth’s first two people, had two sons – Cain and Abel.Ībel attended to the flocks and Cain worked the soil. This story is adapted straight out of the Bible in Genesis 4, Verse 1. The story line focused on the horrific past of these two brothers where, as told by Paul Bearer – Kane’s father – that a youthful Undertaker burned down the home and funeral parlor of his family, murdering his parents and forever scarring his younger brother. Ted Dibiase even introduced him as “Kane the Undertaker”, but it was edited out when Vince decided to stick with just “The Undertaker”.įast forward to October 5th, 1997 at the In Your House: Bad Blood pay-per-view when Glen Jacobs made his infamous debut as Kane – ripping the door off the hell in a cell and facing off against his older brother, the Undertaker. I recently learned an interesting fact on the Bruce Prichard podcast that the name of “Kane” was originally planned for the debut of the Undertaker.
