We are free to let Him in

I can’t imagine what it would be like to go to bed with gunfire constantly nearby. I can’t imagine what it would be like with killing in the streets and bombs flying over my head. Americans of this generation do not know what its like. The closest thing to this would be living in a crime-ridden neighborhood with constant homicides. Thankfully, I have not had to live in a situation such as this. But nonetheless, it is hard for us to know what it is like. None of us know what it is like to fear our own government. None of us know what it is like to have to suck up to those in power so that, if the time were to come, we would be able to ask a favor. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH A STABLE, TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED LIFE.

And, because we have this freedom and blessing, we must take full advantage of it, and we must do so as Christians. We are not free to choose what we want. We are free to choose WHAT IS RIGHT. We are free and blessed to be sure that others may also be free and blessed. All people must be allowed to take full advantage of their God-given right to choose what is good and true.
We have plenty of work in our country. This is a country built on a dream of rising from rags to riches. But who are we to limit this dream to only certain people? We have many others knocking at our door, pleading to have a decent life, one which many of us already have. Why should we not let them in, especially those who share in our Baptism? Many of those who come as immigrants are devout Christians, simply trying to find the life which their own economy cannot provide. Yes, they are Christians. They are Christ.

Can we really turn away Christ?
