Rena and I keep it going with a free-style conversation about the way in which Black Christians reject the notion that Jesus was a Black man. They don’t even entertain the possibility that their “Lord and Savior” is a Black man.
Many are quick to say that “His color doesn’t matter.” We beg to differ. “Images create our reality.” For centuries our view of God, Jesus - and ourselves - have been shaped by a lie. What’s the lie? That Jesus is a white man.
The false image of Jesus as a white man is an intentional psychological assault on the identity, self-esteem and divinity of Black people around the world.
If you think his color/ethnicity/identity doesn’t matter, maybe this podcast will cause you to repent (rethink) that belief.
We also touch base on the slave-master dynamic present in the Christian church and how racism/white supremacy has distorted God, Jesus, the Bible and Christianity.
Take a listen…
