caring for lives

Deuteronomy 27:25 (JDV)

Deuteronomy 27:25 ‘The one who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent throat is afflicted with a curse.’ And all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

caring for lives

A soldier in an unjust war, an official who is bribed to look the other way, a judge who ignores a case because it is not politically expedient… these are just a few of the ways that this passage has relevance in today’s culture. All around the world today people are dying because it is financially expedient for them to do so. It is not God’s will for that to keep happening. It is Satan who is the murderer from the beginning. Jesus came to give us life, not to take it from us.

Lord, make us people who care about the lives of those who are in danger, whether it is the child in the womb, the elderly, the poor, the refugee or the drug addict.
