White Supremacy

Christianity offers a shared hope. The last book in the Bible, tells us that Jesus died for every tribe, every language, every people, and every nation. That’s every imaginable way of confirming that no ethnic group is excluded from Jesus’ redemption. People at the Charlottesville alt-right rally chanted, “Jews will not replace us.” I’m not exactly sure what they meant by that, but when I read my Bible I see that one Jew actually died in our place, in order to make a place for us. In Revelation 7, an innumerable crowd from every ethnic group gathers around God’s throne in Heaven to praise him. As someone said, God’s Heaven is a white supremacist’s nightmare.

… not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

(NKJV, 1 Peter 3:9)
