Seth
Seth
Third son of Adam and Eve, born after Abel's death; the line of promise continues through him.

Reflection
Where do you see God carrying His promises through quieter, less obvious people in your own family?

Luke 3:38 traces Jesus' human ancestry back through Seth to Adam, marking Seth as the first link in the line through which the promised Offspring of Genesis 3:15 would come.
