Resistance

I cannot fathom how anyone who believes in the Christ of the New Testament cannot see that they must resist the actions of the new administration. God calls us to welcome those in need. How can we turn our backs on refugees?

Matthew 25:31-40
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:32 And  before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them  one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.


34 Then  shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my  Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the  world:

35 For I was an hungry, and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in: 36 Naked, and you clothed me: I was sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came unto me.


37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see  you hungry, and fed you? or thirsty, and gave you drink?38 When did we see you a stranger, and took you  in? or naked, and clothed you?39 Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and came to you?


40 And  the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,  Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,  you have done it unto me.
