JESUS CHRIST AND AFRICAN AMERICAN SLAVE IDENTITY

In the gospel of Jesus Christ and in his persecution, betrayal, denial, crucifixion, and resurrection, the early enslaved Africans in America found a spiritual paradigm that mirrored their own experience and that validated its archetypal efficacy in their own lives, jointly and severally, as being of God as well. In Jesus Christ they found themselves, their identity, and their manifest destiny!

"On Christ the rugged rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand."
