Red And Yellow Black And White

I don’t remember for sure, but I think that I learned all the Sunday school songs I’m familiar with at Calvary Presbyterian Church in Alexandria, VA.  One of the songs I wish every child could learn is “Jesus Loves The Little Children.”  The words are:

Jesus loves the little children

All the children of the world

Red, brown, yellow

Black and white

They are precious in His sight.

Jesus loves the little children

Of the world.

Jesus died for all the children

All the children of the world

Red, brown, yellow

Black and white

They are precious in His sight.

Jesus died for all the children

Of the world.

Jesus rose for all the children

All the children of the world

Red, brown, yellow

Black and white

They are precious in His sight.

Jesus rose for all the children

Of the world.

The video above says red and yellow, black and white.  Later brown was added. I would say the red stands for American Indians, yellow for Asian, black for African, Middle Eastern, Mexican, South American,or South Pacifica, and white for European. How would you define race by skin color?  The whole point is that Jesus loves children no matter what color they are.

We have had a firestorm of difficult race relations in the United States recently.  In California and Arizona there is the problem of high school Mexican citizens wanting to celebrate their Mexican holidays at school and becoming angry if high school American citizens wear American flag T-shirts to school on those days.  We have had looting and burning in Missouri and Maryland because of black men who were killed by police in questionable circumstances.  The most tragic situations are the black on black crime in Chicago, Cleveland, and other cities.  Worse still are the radicalized Muslims who want to kill Jews and anybody who does not submit to Sharia law.

Christians need to spread the word that God loves all of us.  He is our Creator.  He wants us to love each other.  But the only way that will happen is if we are brothers and sisters in the Lord.  I Peter 2: 9  "But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;"   In a mysterious way Christians become the same race no matter what the skin color!

Because of what has been given to us, those who know Jesus are called to a higher standard.  The hope is that those without Christ will turn to Him through our good works and the power of the Holy Spirit.  The Bible tells us that God’s judgment is coming onto the earth and onto the people who do not believe.  We must have compassion on the unbelievers before it is too late.

Of all the hurting people in the world Christians have the best chance of getting rid of all bitterness in our losses, and to forgive those who have betrayed us. Here is a book recommendation which may help. Click here.

 Love is the only answer. Christians show our love by spreading the Gospel and making disciples.
