Our Love for the Refugees
BY REVD. PHYLLIS WONG
MINISTER-IN-CHARGE OF KOWLOON UNION CHURCH
WORKING GROUP OF THE PEACEMAKING PROGRAM
Jesus was once a refugee, fleeing with his parents to Egypt due to persecution. Jesus reminded us, "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me" (Matthew 25:40, NRSV). As Christ’s followers, it is a divine calling to love and care for our refugee and asylum seekers community. Our solidarity with this community is a manifestation of God’s kingdom of justice and peace, as well as Christ’s salvation to all humanity, especially to those who are vulnerable. “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred people live together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1, NRSV) I thank our refugee sisters and brothers who make us a true family in God.
