The Biblical Imperative to Embrace the Immigrant

Hi and Shalom George,



This is the way to greet all people on their travels through life and to leave people feeling better when we pass on our way. This side-lining of immigrants through-out the land has been around since before Christ and we called them Pharisees or similar as by giving any race of people a label we make anyone entering into our land a foreigner or by the time they migrate they become our modern day immigrant.



It is about time that that anyone entering the so-called foreign land or Britain, America, Germany or similar should be treated just as " A Foreigner In A Foreign Land" but with care and compassion of just that "Suddok" and maybe then we can remove the walls between racism and acceptance of someone different to ourselves.



We need to remember that all people that left Egypt a so-called foreign land to the Israelites as the Egyptians had side-lined the inhabitants and made them foreigners in a foreign land, so God took them to the Promised Land to make Suddok for all.



The Story is just beginning and we still have a lot to learn about ourselves first and this will allow us to understand others in a better and more consistent way.
