Todays reading begins the new life. For several folks. Adam and Eve, I never realized that Adam was told not to eat of the tree inthe garden, he had to relay the message to Eve since she was created later. Hmmm. Because of them eating of the tree they were given a new life. Cain and Able were born. After Ables slaying Cain had to start a new life. Not necessarily alone, God had marked him, so I can guess that in a way God was with him, at least "from a distance", Adam and Eve were given a new start with the birth of Seth. This family began to call upon and declare Gods Name. Interesting. Then Mary and Joseph, giving birth to the Savior, visited by shepherds, Simeon who received the fulfillment of a promise that he would see Gods Salvation. And Anna who prophesied over Jesus to all in the temple. These were life changing events for all.
After reading today it seems God has good in store for his 'humans' he called us humankind, which separates us from animals. Even when wrong was done, He has made a way for good to come. What a good God we serve.
