Hi! This student section of Students for Life provides encouragement, true abortion-related stories, links to other student-related websites, and advice for those students who want ideas on how they can make a Pro-Life difference in their schools and communities. Other Resource Websites for Students Ideas (how to get your school involved, ideas for school projects and volunteering, etc.)
This encouragement story comes to us from the Book of Matthew. I am a lector (reader) at my church and had the opportunity of finding this little part of the Bible in the lectionary while I was practicing my own reading. Although most people would probably take this section more literally, I immediately thought of the abortion issue. You can find this story in Matthew 7:7-11. Ask, Seek, Knock "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock. Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread? Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish? As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Not
only is this passage reassuring us that legalized
abortion will eventually fall (can you imagine how joyous
that will be! :), but it has a definite Pro-Life theme
too. It points out that even "bad" people know
that they need to take care of their children and not
kill them for convenience. In the passage we read,
"Would any of you who are fathers give your son a
stone when he asks for bread?" In our time the
question changes to: Would any of you who are mothers
give your children death when they ask for life?
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. A mother does just that
four thousand times each day in the United States alone. |
