The Heart of Matter on Tebow Pro-Life Commercial

Jeff Robinson writes well about the heart of the matter with all the Tebow abortion ad stuff.  He writes:

The heart of the misunderstanding is not really so much about Tebow, but, is rather a fundamental misunderstanding of the fundamental reason why many evangelicals are staunchly pro-life. Tim Tebow is not politicking for the religious right,whatever that is; he is defending life out of a belief in an inspired and inerrant Bible which teaches that abortion is the high-handed, premeditated murder of a human being. For Tebow, this is about theology and not politics or winning a culture war. No, his motivation is not to further his career (in fact, one wonders how this will play in the sometimes politically-correct world of pro sports) or to prepare to run for office or any such machinations. Tim Tebow simply knows what a man of God is called to do: he must stand between his family or those who cannot help themselves and protect them from the world, the flesh and the devil. This is what biblical Christianity teaches, it is what biblical manhood does in response, and it is part of a Gospel-centered life; it compels a man to risk life and limb and even a good name or lucrative pro football career to protect the weak, the innocent and those whom he loves for the glory of God. It is what a sinless Savior did long ago “on a hill far away” in standing between His rebellious people and the wrath that their sins deserved.
