Regardless of your political position on immigration policy, it is indisputable that God used immigration to spread his kingdom.
Abram immigrated to Canaan and became Abraham.
Jacob survived family by immigrating to Egypt.
Ruth immigrated to Israel and became the great grandmother of King David.
Jesus was a refugee in Egypt.
The early church was spread by Jewish Christians immigrating across the Roman Empire.
Paul was a Jew granted Roman citizenship because of where he was born.
And we all are grafted into God’s kingdom as citizens of a Kingdom that is not our own.
God has used immigration and the grafting of people groups together to establish his kingdom.
No matter your political position, may God’s people never forget that God’s kingdom was built through immigrants. Amen.
