Colored People-dc Talk

Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the Lord's
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure

We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace

People try to separate themselves from others whether it be sex, race, social status, age, etc due to their own insecurities. We don't like things that are different because they scare us. We want to remain in our comfortable little bubble where everything is safe and secure. History is filled with wars due to the oppression of a people for some external factor. 

If we are honest with ourselves, all of us are prone to prejudice in some form. The only cure is to realize that we must see people as Jesus sees them. God is impartial. He loves all of His created children the same. His offer of grace and redemption is extended to all. External factors cannot save us from our sin, only Jesus can, therefore all who are saved are the same in the eyes of God. 

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28

Let us put our prejudices and differences aside and truly become the body and bride that Christ died for.
