God's Image Gives Value to an Unborn Life
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★PICTURE frames are sold with a valueless picture displayed. The point of it is just to take up space. It means nothing. A person will purchase the frame, take it home, and put in a picture of somebody who means something—a relative, a friend, a special memory. The picture that is placed inside the new frame has value. Why? Because it is an image of real life. Now, all of a sudden that picture frame has greater value because the image it holds represents something or someone cared for. When there’s life in the womb, God has placed His image in the frame. Now the frame has greater value because it bears the mark of God.
The point
A picture frame's value comes from the valued image it holds; human life gains greater value because it bears God's image.
