No More Strangers

The entire American nation is an amalgam of all nations and cultures. In 2021, millions of unauthorized immigrants had migrated to the US. An oddity of immigration is this, when immigrants land on American soil they immediately start separating into their native groups and begin communities that reflect the country from which they came. Immigration, legal or otherwise, is changing the character of America and many other countries. Historically, every ten years America changes for better or worse. Add politics, legalization and promotion of sin and one can see the signs of the end times of which Jesus spoke. 

When God promised Abraham a Seed who would bless all the nations, He was promising Jesus who would invite the sinners of the world to enter the kingdom of God. Along with the Lord’s churches sending missionaries to many parts of the world, God is bringing many people from different parts of the world to America for Christians to witness to, win and add them to the kingdom of God. Christians are of every nationality in the world. However, we all have the same Father and same inheritance. “And hath made of one blood all nations. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us” (Acts 17:26, 27).

Thought: “The lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” (Luke 14:23).
