THE BLACK JESUS . There are some groups usually affiliated with some form of the Black HEBREW movement who vehemently argue that JESUS was black /african in skin color.While this goes directly against the fact that the bible declares JESUS jewishness --meaning he likely had light to dark brown skin,ultimately the discusssion /argument misses the point.Does it matter that we know the color of JESUS; skin was? Whether hebrew ,black ,yellow brown ,or white.Though this may be a controversial issue for some ,the truth is that we simply dont know what the color of JESUS skin was.While there are countless refrences to JESUS being Jewish as that was his heritage, The bible provides little if any description of what JESUS might of looked like.It is the prophet ISAIAH who gives us the best description of the of the physical appearances of JESUS .[Isiah 53;2 --for he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground; HE hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him there is no beauty, that we should desire him.If JESUS skin color and complextion were important then GOD would of have told us about them.Furthermore to presume that JESUS is of one color another is to speculate on on imformation not found within the Scriptures.As such it is useless speculation at best.The point is that it does not matter in whole scheme of redemption what color of skin JESUS had.Peter also tells us that GOD does not show favortism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right when JESUS calls for us to go into all the world and teach the gospel.He is telling us that there are no culture or racial barriers, that we are all one in CHRIST JESUS . Paul echoes this in a letter to the churches in Galatia[ GALATIONS 3;28 --There is neither ,JEW nor greek ,slave nor free male nor female ,for we are all one in CHRIST JESUS .] The color of our saviors skin has no bearing on our sharing the Gospel.nor should our neighbors skin color have any bearing on our imparting the Gospel message to him..The apostles of the first century church always adapted to the to the cultures of the foreign countries,But they never did so at the cost of their fidelity to the law of CHRIST .Paul may have changed his method of teaching whenever he entered a new culture or foreign land ,but he never changed his message. He kept preaching the same things he had always taught.Reguardless of the color of the color of his listeners skin .What mattered was that they received the good news of CHRIST .The truth is that the message of the gospel of CHRIST worked then and the gospel still works today.It still reaches into the hearts of those who yearn to know GOD , whether they are black, white ,yellow or brown .Its not the JESUS skin color of our neighbors skin that matters in our eternal destiny, but what does is that salvation is found in no-one else ,for there is no other name under Heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

TO ME AS LONG AS GOD IS THERE IS ALL I NEED.SO MAKE HIM ANY COLOR YOU WOULD LIKE .IF YOUR BLACK PRAY TO A BLACK JESUS .IF YOUR WHITE OR YELLOW OF SKIN THE SAME .
