The Race Card of the Early Christians

The Race Card and the Early Christians - by Derwin Gray and Frank Viola

"The Zimmerman trial and the tragedy that surrounds it has captured the world’s attention. Including that of the body of Christ. Media coverage has heightened passions on both ends. Conversations about race, law, injustice, prejudice, guns, etc. are all being argued and inflamed.

In this article, we don’t want to weigh in on the public debate. Instead, our passion is to encourage God’s people everywhere to transcend the debate that the world is holding on its own terms by seeing ethnicity through the eyes of our Lord. There is only one race, the human race, which is comprised of different ethnic groups (Acts 17:26).

We want you, dear Christian, to take your cue from the New Testament believers, for they can teach us a great deal about this subject."
