This week Julia Allan walks us through why, as citizens of the Kingdom, we are to develop and hold a consistent ethic of life. This means we’re invited by Jesus to value life at every moment and in every context. And it’s a reminder that the value we place on every human life is too big, too robust, and too expansive to be contained within a political party or represented by a political leader. It’s also a challenge to evaluate the effectiveness of our public witness through a different lens. We shouldn’t only be thinking about the intent of our public and political actions, but also the fruit. If in an attempt to preserve vulnerable life we support, advocate for, or enact policies that increase death rates, then maybe those policies should be revisited and reimagined. Because Jesus valued every life, all of the time.
