Today’s Pro-life Reflection: Response to Jesus Christ
Posted: 02 Jun 2016 06:19 AM PDT
“May he enable us to achieve what is pleasing to him through Jesus Christ” (Hebrews 13:21).
Reflection: The pro-life movement is not primarily a response to Roe vs. Wade. It is a response to Jesus Christ. This movement stands in the tradition of the early Christians who rescued abandoned infants from the streets, to those who established hospitals and worked to liberate slaves. Jesus Christ came to free the oppressed; his disciples do the same.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I am grateful that in responding to you I stand in a great tradition of disciples who have served the oppressed in your name. Keep me strong in my response to you! Amen.
