What Part Did You Not Understand?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Let me share a story with you:
One day, while Jesus was sitting around with crowd of people and their families, everyone was laughing, joking and playing – just having a great time. Jesus was smiling as he watched the children play. They were running all over the place, playing all kinds of games and enjoying themselves. As Jesus was talking with some of the adults, the conversation started to get rather deep, one of his friends asked Jesus a question, “Jesus, I was wondering, who gets the highest honor in the Divine’s Kingdom? I’m asking for a friend.”
Jesus smiled; he stood up and started to walk to a clearing and sat down. As he was sitting he started clapping his hands and called all the children to come and sit around him. As the children came to sit with Jesus, many started to climb all over him. Jesus started to laugh, and he looked at the friend who asked the question and said, “Look at this, this is unconditional love.” Jesus was laughing so hard he could hardly say a word. After a few minutes, he looked at the friend who asked the question and said, “Let’s put it this way. See these little ones? See these amazing little children? See how they just love life? See how they have no worries? See how they just enjoy each other and play games with each other? See how pure their hearts are? See how they love others naturally? See how they don’t care who is, and is not, important? See how they see others with the love of the Divine? See how they look to adults with trust in their eyes? See how they look to us for safety? If you’re unable to see that, if you can’t think like them, you’ll never have any place in the Divine’s Kingdom, you’ll never get in. If you can’t think like them, or live like them, you truly have no idea what I have been telling you, because children get it.”
Jesus thought for a moment and added, “Let me add something else, so you understand how important what I just shared with you is: If you give any child a hard time, bully them, harm them, mistreat them in any way – you’re doing the same thing to me, and you will never see the face of the Divine.” He added, “Think of it this way, you screw with them and I can guarantee you it would be better for you to make yourself a neck-tie out of heavy chains and throw yourself into the deepest part of the ocean in hopes of never being found. I can guarantee you that if you harm them in any way you will be standing in the line that will not lead you into the Divine’s Kingdom. You need to understand, life for many children can be harsh and unforgiving and if you add more pain to their lives, shit will hit the fan in a big way. It’s our place, it’s your place, to insure they are loved, safe and lifted from the harsh unforgiving world. If you harm a child in any way, shape or form, you will never find your place in the Divine’s Kingdom”
His friend asked, “So, putting them in cages, separating them from their parents would not be a good thing?” Jesus replied, “What? What part of what I said did you have a hard time grasping?”

"Love one another!"
It's not rocket science.
Nice piece of fiction. But you are forgetting where Jesus also stated that laws were to be obeyed. Upon incarcerations, the separation of a criminal from the family is something that has been going on for as long as laws have existed.
In this case, crossing the border is illegal. It's illegal in every country in the world. Punishment for this illegal activity is either immediate deportation or incarceration. In the case of the US, it's incarceration and eventual deportation. The fact that this is the result of enforcing the law. Something that the last administration did as well. But suddenly, it's an issue and blamed on the current administration. Where was the outrage on this during the last administration?
Interesting that Jesus understands that governments malleable and changing laws, are not the only laws...
And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
E.A So care to explain, how the need for " Border Security " Let me rephrase that so we do not have a confusion:: The need for Every House to have a FRONT door, and at times a LOCKED front door, in what way, does what Jesus said goes against that need?
E.A But Jesus did speak about selling the outergarment and Buying a Sword, I wonder why that was not used :-)
