There are three of you. There is the person you think you are. There is the person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be through Christ.

Jesus was not a white man; He was not a black man. He came from that part of the world that touches Africa and Asia and Europe. Christianity is not a white man’s religion and don’t let anybody ever tell you that it’s white or black. Christ belongs to all people; He belongs to the whole world.
