Read Matthew 2:1-8, 16-18
King Herod was a man who was bent on power and the desire for total control. Granted he was king and wanted to preserve his kingdom, but for all the wrong reasons pursued the murder of countless innocent lives for the sake of preserving his kingdom. Today over 4000 babies are innocently murdered for the sake of choice or inconvience. Granted maybe someone could say that some are aborted because of health issues, but when is it ok to justify murder to save the life of another? When is it ok to play God and not have any idea what the ramifications will be for the future. If Herod would have understood what the scriptures taught about the Christ then we would not have had to murder all those innocent boys. Instead he acted on impulse and took the easy way out which cost others dearly. If people look at abortion as an easy way out they are missing the fact that it will cost dearly. Abortion never just takes the life of an innocent baby, it hurts the women and it is killing our society. May we not fall into the trap of justifying something that is wrong in order to accommodate the here and now. Let God be God.
Father thank you that you are all knowing and all powerful. Help us to trust in those truths as we seek to understand more about your view of abortion.
