A real great post Marvia. Thanks to Jesus!

I have to think also at a kind of old stories that are pretty common in Eurpean (and elsewhere) countries.

They usually go like this:

An old man or woman come by a house in the evening and are asking for a place to stay or some bread, because it is cold and they are hungry.

The owners of the house either let them in or leave them out.

Next day it turns out the these visitors had been kind of 'special guests' and the house owners would either receive some blessing or suffer for their ignorance.

I guess that goes along with that verse where it says: What ye have done to the least of my brethren you have done unto me.

Somehow this topic goes already into the problems of the refugees. Or of immigrants. And the problem these people have is that they usually are not recognized as being 'brethren', but are seen upon as 'strangers'.

This problem is in Austria too.

And it is no wonder, because although for example European countries have a certain kind of nationalism, the nations in itself are divided into coveting parties that want benefits. So these nations have no unity in themselves.
