Abraham walks on rocky terrain with a staff, Jacob sits contemplatively on the ground, Moses leads people through a desert with distant mountains, and the Holy Family travels at night.
Migration is not a modern crisis; it is one of the oldest
human stories. Long before borders, passports, and immigration offices, the
Bible was already filled with people on the move — fleeing danger, searching
for food, escaping persecution, or simply obeying a divine call.
When we read Scripture through the lens of migration, a
hidden thread emerges: God’s people have always been refugees, and God has
always walked with the displaced. From the very beginning, the Bible introduces
us to a world in motion. Adam and Eve are driven out of Eden, learning to
survive outside paradise.
