“Yes, We Are Our Brothers’ Keepers” (Genesis 4:8-15) As you were growing up, did you have a younger brother or sister? Did your parents ever remind you that you needed to play with them, you needed to be their friend, you needed to watch out for them, and you needed to guide and protect them whenever necessary. As you grew up, the definition of “brother” expanded to include friends and other acquaintances. Your responsibilities likewise expanded. So, when Jesus asks, “Are you your brothers’ keeper,” you can resoundingly answer “Yes!”
