Sin has immensely complicated matters in a fallen world, to the point at which in some cases there are not only no easy answers, there may not be any good answers. The expression of Christian love toward Syrian refuges may put at risk my neighbor. How is that loving? But refusing mercy to Syrian refugees is not loving either. It is a conundrum, and I shouldn't be too quick to condemn people on either side of the issue.
There is only One who is able to bring resolution to a world intractably complicated by fallenness. In this Christmas season, I am glad that I belong to Jesus Christ, who has become to me wisdom, righteousness, and redemption.
Here's an article worth reading on the subject.
