The LORD loves refugees. He sent His son, Jesus, to enter our flesh and blood world, knowing full well he’d soon be a refugee—a middle-Eastern toddler with his family—fleeing the malicious murderous regime of the day.
Flash forward to a current middle-Eastern toddler with his family—fleeing the malicious murderous regime of the day—and see Aylan’s lifeless little body, face down at water’s edge.
And Jesus tells us:
…if you give even a cup of cold water
to one of the least of my followers,
you will surely be rewarded.
Matthew 10:42
Not one of us has the ability to help everyone, but all of us have the ability to help someone.
