Blame and Credit Where It Is Due (Genesis 4:25)

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Season 4 Episode 127

After losing a son to a violent murder, many mothers would shake their fist at God. Eve did not. She charged her son’s murder to her other son who committed it, but she ascribed to God the new life God gave her to help heal the wound of loss.
