This weekend, the Abolish Abortion Western Australia ladies hit the streets of Perth again, this time with their shiny new Abolitionists Rising signs that Abolish Abortion Australia sent them.
Lunae and Kara reported an excellent day out: many opportunities to share the gospel, many copies of John’s Gospel handed out, and even some apologetic discussions with Roman Catholics regarding the Marian dogmas. One reported "highlight" was receiving their first insults, to which another abolitionist responded, "You’re now officially true abolitionists! 🎊". Although this is tongue-in-cheek, there is truth to it.
Abolitionists engage the culture on the front lines; we circumvent the algorithm and confront the culture of death face to face. To us, even the most vile insults and comments like "your mother should have aborted you", "I'm going to kill my child just for you", or "eat them!" (the children), become commonplace and mundane.
Yet, our Lord Jesus says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 5:10-12)
Therefore, we count it all joy when we are reviled for proclaiming Christ's law and gospel. Not that it is ever easy to endure, but God gives us grace that we might persevere. This experience ought to be common among Christians, for since the world hates our Lord, they will also hate his servants (John 15:18). We pray that our courage might inspire similar courage in our brothers and sisters to join us as colabourers in the harvest fields.
So next time you see your friendly neighbourhood abolitionist, encourage them. Do not be ashamed of us, but welcome us, give one of these little ones a drink, you will surely be rewarded for it! (Mark 9:41)
