Compare Trump's question:
Quote:
|
“Why are we having all these people from ****hole countries come here?
|
with Nathanael's:
Quote:
|
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
|
Jesus came from a place that was considered a ****hole. Should Jesus be rejected because of that? No, and neither should the immigrant or refugee.
Jesus asks us to welcome the stranger.
Quote:
|
Matthew 25:35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;
|
Even the Old Testament asks us to care for the stranger.
Quote:
|
Exodus 22:21 “You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
|
This is a pointed message to us in America, a nation of immigrants.
