THE IMAGO-DEI IS THE CHRISTIAN IMPETUS FOR INTERVENTION.
HOWEVER, OUR INDIFFERENCE EXPOSES OUR THEOLOGICAL IMMERSION.
It is not easy to stand up to Satan, or even to stand up to one of his lackeys like Pharaoh.
This is why Shiphrah and Puah are two of the great women of the Bible.
Shiphrah means something like “beautiful one,” while Puah means “splendid one.”
Both of them lived up to their names.
Shiphrah and Puah were splendid and beautiful in many ways.
They had a noble calling.
As midwives, they had dedicated their lives to medical care.
The many godly women who throughout history have devoted themselves to medicine are daughters of Shiphrah and Puah.
These midwives must have helped many mothers and their babies survive desperate deliveries.
No doubt they had also comforted many women upon the death of their newborn children.
The last thing that a woman like Shiphrah or Puah would ever do is take an innocent life.
These midwives understood the mind and heart of God.
Even though they had not yet received the Ten Commandments, they knew better than to commit murder.
Perhaps they were familiar with God’s words to Noah:
This was an act of civil disobedience.
Pharaoh gave the midwives a direct order, and they disobeyed it.
But this is what God’s people always do when the laws of men contradict the laws of God.
Our first allegiance is to God, and as Peter and the other apostles said, “We must obey God rather than men!” Acts 5:29.
There are times when Christians not only have the right but also the responsibility to resist.
In a way this act of civil disobedience was the start of a revolution, the first beginnings of the slave revolt that ultimately led Israel out of Egypt.
By refusing to follow Pharaoh’s orders, Shiphrah and Puah became the first pro-life heroines.
The reason these women had the courage to do such a splendid, beautiful thing is that they feared God much more than they feared Pharaoh.
Pharaoh was the most powerful man in the world.
With a simple wave of his hand, he could have had them executed.
Yet Shiphrah and Puah dared to risk their lives because they “feared God” Exodus 1:17.
They understood that obeying God is always the safest thing.
They were acting in accordance with the command of Christ, who said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul” Matthew 10:28
