We will study the account of Jesus meeting Mary after he had risen from the dead, where he asks the incisive question, "Who is it you are looking for?".

Last time we looked at the book of Genesis, we learned something about the true nature of evil -- that evil has a transcendent, intelligent component to it. This week, as we look at Genesis 4, we will learn something about the true nature of sin. Turns out that sin is far more dangerous than we may first suspect.

In 1937, famous British author H G Wells wrote, "Can we doubt that presently our race will more than realize our boldest imaginations, that it will achieve unity and peace, and that our children will live in a world made more splendid and lovely than any palace or garden that we know, going on from strength to strength in an ever-widening circle of achievement? What man has done, the little triumphs of his present state … form but the prelude to the things that man has yet to."

In her chart-topping hit, "ET," Katy Perry sings about longing for the "transcendental, supernatural" love of an alien being. Believe it or not, she's simply expressing a longing that lies deep within all human beings.
