This article explores the Christian perspective on refugees and asylum seekers by examining biblical examples and principles. It contrasts this perspective with contemporary government policies that emphasise #bordersecurity. Key biblical narratives, including #JosephandMary's flight to #Egypt, the #Exodus of the #Israelites, #Ruth’s migration to #Bethlehem, #Elijah’s retreat to #Zarephath, and the early #ChristianDiaspora, provide insights into a Christian response characterised by #compassion, #hospitality, and #justice. These stories highlight themes of #divineguidance and the pursuit of a better life, offering a framework for addressing the needs of those seeking refuge.
