Actions are stronger than words.
When Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph fled from Herod into Egypt, they had to pass numerous Roman Army checkpoints and posts, especially along the crocodile border. They went into Egypt LEGALLY. The relevant verse is John 10:1.... “Anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate,but climbs in by some other waY, is a thief and a Robb er.”
and more importantly and overlooked: Egypt was part of the Roman Empire.
Amen 🙏🏻!
