I recently posted a heresy shower thought that Jesus was a refugee. It turns out, a preacher got there first. Who’d’ve thunk it?

We can see this through the different characters in the story and some of the imagery; a pregnant young woman, a husband scared of scandal, a baby born in the manger, Magi from the East who have to risk speaking to Herod in order to ascertain the birth of a new King, shepherds in the fields struggling to make ends meet and a family at risk who have to flee and take refuge in Egypt. All of these characters in their own circumstance, were vulnerable.
