Day 4: The Blood That Speaks Better Things

Reading: Genesis 4:10-11; Hebrews 12:22-24

Devotional: Abel's blood cried out from the ground for justice. But Jesus' blood speaks a better word—it cries out for mercy. Where Cain shed innocent blood in anger, Jesus shed innocent blood in love. One brought judgment; the Other brings redemption. Cain's sin reminds us of our desperate need for a Savior. We cannot master sin on our own—we need the blood of Jesus to cleanse, restore, and empower us. His sacrifice covers what our best efforts cannot. When we fail, when anger wins, when sin crouches and conquers, we don't have to live under condemnation. Jesus' blood speaks over every failure, every wound, every broken relationship. It declares: forgiven, redeemed, restored. Let His blood speak louder than your guilt, your anger, or your past.

Reflection: How does knowing Jesus' blood speaks mercy over my life change how I respond to my failures?
