A White Jesus?
The late great Dr. E.V. Hill was once asked if he thought Jesus was Caucasian as depicted in paintings. This was his reply:
“I don't know anything about a white Jesus... I know about Christ, a Saviour named Jesus. I don't know what colour He is. He was born in the brown Middle East; He fled to black Africa; and He was in heaven before the gospel got to white Europe. So, I don't know what colour He is.”
“I do know one thing: if you bow at the altar with colour on your mind, you'll get up with colour on your mind. Go back again - and keep going back until you no longer look at His colour, but at His greatness and His power - His power to save!"
