Support those who need help living – as you do, you will be showing them the Prince of life, Jesus.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and some disabled people have a hard time living, but an easy time dying, at least in Canada where assisted-suicide laws have been modified to now accommodate people with disabilities. In Canada, a person with a disability might not qualify for affordable housing, but be fast-tracked for a fatal dose of phenobarbital. What a tragedy. In Isaiah 58, God tells us to bend over backward to help people live, not help them end it all because they can’t afford to live. Life is the most irreplaceable and fundamental condition of the human experience. From the womb to the tomb, let’s support those who need help living – and as we do, we will be showcasing them the Prince of Life, the one who has the Words of Life, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, our Savior, Jesus.
