In short, abortion has to do with
the lordship of Jesus Christ and with everything we say about the nature of
Christ's lordly rule. Abortion says that Christ was wrong when he commanded
"Do not kill" (Mark 10:19). Abortion says that we can make up our own
rules for our sinful selves, and totally ignore the fact that apart from
Christ, we can do nothing, except wither and dry up like branches that are good
only to be tossed into a fire (John 15:5-6). Abortion says that Christ is not
Lord, but rather that we are our own lords instead. And so abortion argues
against and denies the church's earliest, central, most enduring confession,
that Jesus Christ alone is Lord over all in heaven and on earth.
