Dr. Ray Bakke wrote, “As our cities swell with immigrants, I’m reminded that Jesus was born in a borrowed barn in Asia and became an African refugee in Egypt, so the Christmas story is about an international migrant.”
This quote is from Bakke’s book, A Theology as Big as the City, published by InterVarsity Press.
To paraphrase:
The story of Jesus entering the world is about an Asian-born baby, born in a borrowed barn, who became an African refugee.
