Why Can’t We?
It would be easier to not care about the immigrant. But Jesus asked us to. It would be easier to not care about the ones living in the margins. But Jesus asked us to. Jesus said to care for the least of these. Treat them as if they were yours. The hatred has to stop!! In the name of Jesus Christ the hatred has to stop!! Every tale that Jesus told involved groups of people, that during that time, were outcast. Why? It was to prove to us that if someone is in the margins it is our job to care for them. Jesus himself was an immigrant at the age of two as his parents took him to Egypt to spare his life. We are simply here to learn to love him and show that love to ALL of his children. Even those we don’t agree with. Even those that have a different life than we do. Even those that travel far distances to be our neighbors. Love for his children is about putting all selfishness aside. To give up our life for others. Selfishness and greed is the most destructive force on the planet. Selfishness destroys families… communities… nations… companies… and it will destroy the human race by laying waste to our planet if we let it. Selfishness excludes where love makes room and includes. Selfishness puts down, where love helps and heals. Selfishness worries about me, where love worries over others. Jesus spent hours helping anyone that asked. Never once did he ask where they came from or how they lived. WHY CAN’T WE?
