Jesus’ first childhood memories would be of living in Egypt—as a political refugee/immigrant. While his family may have had a place to live, it was not “home” and it was not secure. Immigrants and refugees have few rights and limited access to safe, stable, sanitary housing. They are often victims of unscrupulous landlords and cannot defend themselves easily because of language, culture barriers and fear of exposure if they are undocumented. What do you think God wants us to learn from Jesus’ experience as a displaced person?
