Donating of organs - mcgi review topic by brother Eli Soriano
Organ donation is an act of love and compassion, an example of sacrificial love, for example Jesus lay down his life for us which is seen as selfless love, that is also reflected in organ donation.
Jesus commanded his desciples in the book of Matthew 10:8 to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devil's, freely you have received and also freely you will give, to donate an organ is a way to carry out this mission that God has assigned to us, the mission of healing and saving lives.
The bible did not specifically offer a guideline about organ donation, we are supposed to prayerfully consider it based on our conscience and understanding of the bible.
The bible did not in any way forbid organ donation, but it talked about acting with a clear conscience.
Many dominations and religious support organ donation when you accept to do it without being forced, also with love for other people.
By making the decision, is a way of expressing the rules that says, do to others as you want them to do to you, and also for you to witness God's grace through selfless act.
Someone's decisions should be guided by the scripture and their values.
Lord I pray that you will bless the lives of organ donors for without them there will be no hope and there will be no transplant, I pray that you bless them for their compassion to restore life for those who are critically ill and also guide their lives, give them the strength to live on.
Amen
