The Bible has a lot to say about people who leave their homeland and live as strangers in another country. In simple words, God tells His people not to mistreat them, ignore them, or make life harder for them. Instead, He calls us to treat them with kindness, fairness, and compassion. Many migrants carry heavy stories. Some leave because of…
In John 17:21, Jesus prayed that His followers “may all be one.” In simple words, Jesus was asking the Father to help His people live in love, truth, and unity, just as He and the Father are one. This was not a small prayer. It was a prayer for the whole church, for every believer, in every generation. Jesus also…

In 2 Corinthians 5:16–21, Paul is basically saying, “Because of what Jesus has done, we cannot keep looking at people the same old way.” We cannot judge people…
