Jesus does not begin and end with salvation; rather, salvation begins and ends with Jesus!
People who are pro-life believe that all humans, including the unborn, have a right to life.
Jesus is the Prince of Peace who is “pro-” the lives of everyone.
It is uncharacteristic of Jesus’ broad pro-life stance when we limit our advocacy to pro-birth only while blatantly ignoring that Jesus was profoundly pro-life. Yes, all life mattered to Jesus! If we go back to The Ten Commandments that Moses received from God (Yahweh) at Mt. Sinai, “Thou shalt not kill” was stated fifth of the ten commandments.
Matthew 5:21-22 KJV
21Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca,* shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
The above scripture passage demonstrates how Jesus expanded the Thou shall not kill commandment. Jesus was not narrow minded, but instead mindful of all people and circumstances. We shall continue this topic as we delve deeper into The Real Pro-lifer, Jesus Christ.
*Raca means worthless; good-for-nothing
