Rape Conceived-“Least of These”- Chosen by God?

By Juda Myers - Posted at Choices 4 Life:

Rape Conceived – “the least of these” became very clear to me back in April 2015. I knew I was placed in my mother’s womb not by the desire of any man or woman but only by desire of the God of the universe. My mother was raped by 8 men. No woman wants to be raped to be pregnant, though my mother loved me. Those men weren’t “family planning” and only sought to do evil. Why didn’t God stop those men if He loves us? I don’t have that answer but I do know that God is not evil. He is slow to anger and punishment. We have all done evil in His sight and He hasn’t struck us dead. I don’t know why. But what I do know is that His purpose is greater than our understanding.

I received an email from a Pastor in Colorado that changed my perspective on my life. Here’s what it said:

“I think you will find this encouraging. I found, during a study in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 that through the Cross of Jesus, God looks at people totally different than man does. 

He sees them through the Cross. This revelation is directly relevant to the work you are doing with the Rape Conceived. In verse 27 and 28 Paul says, “God has chosen the…base things of the world… the Greek word for Base is (Agenes). It means with out Kin (genos) or relatives, i.e. of UNKNOWN DESCENT or considered as illegitimate birth. 

In the O.T. Law it was forbidden for illegitimate children to enter the assembly of the Lord, and for their children for 10 generations (Deut 23:2). 

But, Jesus, becoming a Curse for us on the Cross (Galatians 3:13,14), absorbed that curse and punishment, and now, those who are considered ‘Base‘ in the eyes of the world, are the very chosen ones of God.”

What? I knew that verse but had never heard the Greek. So I tell my friend who speaks Greek about this amazing finding and she says,

“Juda base means worse than that. It literally means worthless illegitimate birth!”
