Some legacies are defined by their failures. When we hear names such as Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson, and Lee Harvey Oswald, we cannot help but reduce the lives of these individuals to the heinous acts that made them famous. The father of humanity, Adam, is also on the list of names known for catastrophic failure. In Genesis 5, however, we catch a rare glimpse of the God of redemption who is able to rescue and restore us in spite of our biggest failures. Chapter 5 is a witness to his mercy and hope for our imperfect families in every generation.
