Read Matthew 2:1-8, 16-18
King Herod shed the blood of countless innocent lives for the sake of preserving his kingdom. Today we shed the blood of countless innocent lives and call it choice. No matter the justification for the wrong that is done the fact of the matter is that innocent blood is being shed. No matter what we may think or feel is not the main issue. The main issue is what God thinks. As we have seen from Proverbs 6 that God hates the shedding of innocent blood. That is what should matter to us. This is the heart of the matter. The question then becomes do we want to honor God or not. King Herod chose to dishonor God and to shed the blood of innocent lives to protect his own hide. The sad thing is that Jesus never had any intention of taking over Herod’s kingdom, because the kingdom which Christ would be king of is Heaven. So all those children were murdered for the wrong reasons. I believe the same is true today. Do you know in our country alone over 4000 babies are aborted everyday. That is 1, 460,000 babies every year all for the sake of choice. That is a sad commentary on our country.
Father, we have sinned against you and you alone help us to see that even the unborn matter to you.
