Race Relations | Guy Mason

Watch a message on 'Race Relations' with Guy Mason and Q&A and interview with Brooke Prentis.

The gospel of Jesus calls for more than racial diversity, it calls for reconciliation. That is, the coming together of an unbreakable bond marked by love and friendship. All people carry the signature of God, having been created by him and made in his image. By nature and choice we have been separated from God, yet through the blood of Jesus we are reconciled to God, who tore down the wall of hostility and remade us who believe in him one new humanity.

In Jesus, we are one family of brothers and sisters from every race. To pursue reconciliation, we must be truthful when it comes to our past and present. We must acknowledge that Australia is stolen land, and the resurrection of Jesus compels us to work together for justice and hope for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who called the lands we know as Australia home for at least 60000 years, according to the Uluru Statement.

As an American watching this message half way around the world I know it was probably difficult to present this message because race relations are currently broken and the world is on fire. But thank you for opening up dialogue on this subject with the word of God.
