We are Turning Away the Ill-Clothed, the Hungry, the Strangers

   Come judgement day, what if we are asked why we turned away the naked, the hungry, the thirsty and the strangers? (See Matthew 25.) And, we might reply by asking when was it that we turned away those so needy.
   The answer might come, "July 2014, at the border of Mexico."
   "Yes, I remember them," we will say. "I remember that. But, those people did not have the necessary paperwork for me to be helping them. I only turned them away for lack of paperwork."
   While we are down on earth, it might seem like a good reason not to let them come here. But, once we leave this earth for the heavens, it might not pan out as a good answer. Many of those coming across the border are needy, and that is the reason many of them come. Maybe not all, but many. If we turn them away, why does not Matthew 25 apply? We are turning away the ill-clothed, the hungry, the strangers.
