Jesus Wept
Guys, I truly wish I could be funny or snarky about this. I cannot.
Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after American flag-waving protesters blocked the group from reaching a suburban processing center.
Many of the immigrants were detained while fleeing violence and extortion from gangs in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
After the buses were blocked, federal authorities rerouted the vehicles to a freeway and then to a customs and border facility in San Diego within view of the Mexico border.
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:14
First, the people on these busses are not immigrants. They are refugees.
Second, Jesus was a poor immigrant child.
And when your judgement day comes (either in your heart or your religion), you will not be judged by the number of flags you have, you will be judged by whether you are a sheep or a goat.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
How come those who want to call America a Christian nation are the same ones who act so damn mean, hateful, and Unchristian? When did they shove Christ out of Christianity?
I am convinced that Sweet Jesus was on those busses and was turned away by a crowd of Herods.
I know I am commanded to pray for the armed mob who turned those busses away. I know that. And in due time, I will. Just not today. Today I pray for those children and families on the busses who are the least, the last, and the lost.
