We sometimes hear about someone who is in prison for a crime, wherein they have been incarcerated for many years. Then out of some forgotten file or evidence locker; some information is found seemingly almost by accident; a DNA sample that proves that they are not the guilty one. Often when it is examined closer we may find some mishandling evidence, some corruption some deliberate framing of an individual, you may even find that some false witness was paid off to incriminate them, so that someone can be blamed, someone can be made to be guilty. Then they close the case, and the world is made to appear to be a better, safer place , and justice is done. Then we can all go on in our happier lives, having removed this terrible thing from among us. It is interesting that proving of innocence must be done by someone else, not the prisoner, someone on the outside. You see the prisoner really doesn’t have much of a voice, they are barely heard; if at all.
How do we feel when we hear about someone being found innocent and set free to live their lives? Are we happy, are we angry, sad about the injustice, the lost in the life of this individual? What then if you were a witness and could prove that an innocent person was in prison, or was even to be sentenced to death, would you at least speak up and try to help gain their freedom?
As we think about the innocents; lets look at G-D’s thought about it in Ps. 106
37 They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons
38 and to the gods of Canaan.
Then they poured out the blood
of these innocent children
and made the land filthy.
39By doing such gruesome things,
they also became filthy
If we follow the thought that the sons and daughters blood is innocent, and in this world the unborn are falsely made to be the guilty ones, and made to pay for some thing they didn’t do, and this even with their lives? For what, so we can try to remove our own guilt, make somebody else’s fault? We do find that some people still get the pay off, they tell you that this unborn is not anything, just some inconvenience that must be removed. It’s not a strange thing that the people that tell you that, are the same ones that are getting rich from a multi- millions of dollar business. Just like those temples in Canaan were made rich by telling the lie that those who did kill their children, would have a better life, more crops, plenty of rain, all the good things, the better things.
Maybe you cant hear me, I’m not any one important
Maybe you can’t hear yourself, we can talk ourselves into of out of many things, especially if we have a large, loud continuous voice telling us it’s okay, and it’s the right thing to do.
Maybe you can’t hear G-D, he uses a still small voice when He speaks to us, we would need to listen carefully, even if He speaks quietly; it’s always the truth.
One last thought for now, remember the DNA proved the innocence of the prisoner. Just like some forgotten or deliberately hidden file, if we check the unborn; we will find that they have their own individualised human DNA.
You see, they are whos, not whats. We are here, We are Here, We ar...
