I Am My Brother's Keeper is a reflection on how Cain responded to God when asked, "Where is your brother Abel?" There was a godly way Cain should have reacted to his brother Abel in love, not hatred. Instead, he chose to kill his brother and lie to God.

This book reveals that there is also a godly way for us today to respond to the issues between us and our brothers and sisters with love that promotes life instead of death. Jesus is our perfect example of being a true brother's keeper, for He is the Keeper of the people of God.

We become our best brother's keeper when we follow Jesus keeping His commandments and abiding in His love. Love always seeks life for the ones loved. A person who truly loves follows Jesus' example of loving his brother as himself. When you love your brother as yourself, you will want him to live just as you desire to live, even if he does not agree with how you love him.

To be your brother's keeper is one of the hardest callings on earth, yet it carries the greatest reward in heaven. God sent Jesus to show mankind how to be His brother's keeper.

Will you follow Jesus and help your brother live?
