WWJD

Ever wondered about God's take on the treatment of migrants?

Let's go to the Book...

 

Leviticus 19:33-34 (NKJV)

33 And if a stranger dwells with you in your  land, you shall not mistreat him. 

34 The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

From posts written by some Christians regarding migrants, I'd say they missed these scriptures while they were on their cherry-picking expeditions or maybe their pastors just never preached about them.

If you want to see a recent demonstration of these scriptures in action, take a look at the actions of the residents of Martha's Vineyard in response to the unexpected transportation of migrants to their island by Florida's Governor.

Remember WWJD - What Would Jesus Do? Well...here it is! Love and compassion demonstrated in overdrive. 

In case you didn't know it, Desantis' tactic is not new. White segregationists deceptively bussed black folk to Martha's Vineyard in 1962. The play book already existed.

History...ugly history repeating itself. I wonder how many Christians praised and justified the segregationists' and the Governor's actions?

It's a concerning time in the land...

God help us!
