Human rights exclusion based on skin color, nationality, or gender, are not part of Christ\u2019s message. His teachings, truths, and meanings applies to all , and are not subject to change because of race, preferences, individual affinities, or personal status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201c That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us”<\/strong><\/em>                                                                                                        John 17: 21-24<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Misconceptions of the natural man, these are the reasons that bring about the element of revision, and judgement to play out, and call for justice, and acceptance for all men, in the light of the scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Respect for all, honors life, and there is healing-result in the collective mind, and therefore a healthy reflection on the collective well-being of those who pay respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The life of Christ Himself plays as the counterpart in our own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Are we identifying ourselves with Christ Himself, His death, and His Resurrection Life ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we yield, we can accept Christ, if so, we can identify with His sufferings, and as result, we can find a path to righteousness\u2014 only if we yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


One could argue that one day, it would all catch up with you and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo shall  My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void,But it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it\u201d<\/strong><\/em>
                                                                              Isaiah 55: 11<\/strong>                                        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Martin L. A.                                                <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA multi-color \u201cimage\u201c of Christ helps  convey Christ\u2019s message to all \u201c it’s personal, and universal. It’s about inclusion<\/strong><\/em>.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a Cristian, it’s always a good time to reflect on \u201cThe Cross of Christ\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

whether it’s during observation of the \u201cHoly Week\u201d, or when remembering an specific moment in time, events now history such as the 1921. The\u201cTulsa Race Massacre\u201d in Oklahoma, which marked its 100 year anniversary this past May 31st <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Acts of war; genocide ,the lost of loved ones, the unjust murder of an individual because of discrimination. The lives of the oppressed, the victim of a traitor…<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The struggles in our lives, the cry for truth, and justice when it calls, and ultimately because of having to look at ourselves. There’re always sufficient reasons, and never enough time to take a moment to reflect, and consider \u201cChrist on the Cross\u201d
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the turning point, and the gate-way for humanity.To find, and follow, a path of regeneration, and righteousness thru Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 
 \u201cAnd when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said\u201cFather, into Your hands I commit My spirit.\u201d Having said this, He breathed His last<\/strong><\/em>
                                                                                         Luke 23: 44-49<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
