If you are a Christian, ask yourself “What would Jesus do about refugees?” You don’t have to wonder because it’s in the Bible in many places. My favorite on the subject is Matthew 25:35-40.
Refugees are real people and real families just like you. They would not want to not leave their country – except they have no choice. They have faced unimaginable horrors and must now give up everything they have and have ever known in order to find freedom and safety.
Freedom and safety. A fresh start. That’s what America has always stood for, and what is inscribed at the Statue of Liberty.
There but for the grace of God go any of us. Think about it. As Alicia Keys shows us in this brilliant video, what if the roles were reversed?
I started this post by asking if you are a Christian. But this applies to any faith, and any belief system. Bad things happen when good people stand by in silence as others are oppressed. Speak up. Live your faith. Live love. Be the change.
