Abortion and the Spiritual Battle
Jesus shines His light on the gift of children in the above Scripture. In fact, He tells us that young children have the keys to the Kingdom. In other words, they have the traits needed to enter into Heaven and experience Heaven here in their hearts. These traits are trust, purity, honesty, humility, dependency, love, and joy.
In Ephesians 6:10-12, Paul tells us that life is a spiritual battle. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil
in the heavenly realms.
Since our children have the keys to Heaven, and since this is a battle for souls to get to Heaven, children are under extraordinary attack. The most obvious attack is through abortion. Since the Roe v Wade decision 40 years ago, 55 million children have been killed in our country alone. This is a terrible tragedy—for children—and for all of us.
Some of us have lost children, grandchildren, siblings, cousins, friends, neighbors, or just a special person who was meant to bless us in some way but could not because he did not come into existence. Some have been affected directly, others indirectly. Some live with the regret of having had an abortion, others live with the grief that it exists.
The simple fact that there is a law that allows for the killing of children, can make us all desensitized to the gift of the child. It is just simply easier to dismiss their value. Yet Jesus tells us that they have the utmost value…
“For whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.” Mark 9:37
