The origins of homelessness
Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
Matthew 8:20, NASB
Even though the greatest of all unfolding mysteries has human migration at its core we find the satisfaction of the human race in the experience of home. Home was the place where we can expect to be free in our actions and free from external influences. Owning a home may be one of the things that is on the minds of those Africans risking their lives on rickety boats for a chance in Europe. Could they have not been made aware of what Europeans did to Africa over the last five centuries? Or we could keep asking ad infinitum for the rational answer to why the cost of buying or renting a home suddenly skyrocketed out of reach, or refuse to accept that homelessness is a legitimate choice.
- Nomads have homes
- Christ did not live off the grid
- No person should be homeless
