Jesus Christ, for Christians the savior of mankind, has morphed into whatever the left needs him to be. One day He's a socialist, the next He's a transgender, the next He's an environmentalist. But to Reverend Al Sharpton -- now that He's needed to promote the left's open borders agenda -- He's a refugee.
In an obvious knock against President Trump's temporary halt on refugees, Sharpton took to Twitter to declare that Sunday should be a day to remember Christ as a refugee.
"Before you head to church today, remember to thank God for his son, Jesus a refugee who fled to Egypt," Sharpton wrote on Twitter.
The Bible verse in question: " When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. 'Get up,' he said, 'take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him. So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod."
Typical of the left, they put zero context or examination into anything Jesus said or did, but are happy to use biblical teachings whenever it suits them politically. One day they reject his teachings and on another they embrace him as a "refugee."
There exists a Red Sea-sized gulf of difference between Jesus, Mary and Joseph fleeing into Egypt under threat of Herod and the swaths of refugees from Islamic countries. The Holy Family had zero potential to harm Egyptian society or establish a fascistic code of Sharia law in their cities. They also weren't going to drive trucks through their Christmas markets or gun down gay people in night clubs.
Just because Jesus fled political persecution once doesn't mean one size fits all for refugees.
