I JUST CAN'T STOP THINKING

I JUST CAN'T STOP THINKING I just can't stop thinking about a Facebook post that I shared yesterday about biblical characters having been been derived from Egyptian pharaohs. It is reposted below. It stirred up the gifts within! Can't stop thinking about how our African American forbears knew, without actually knowing this; saw without actually seeing this; heard without actually hearing this; felt without actually feeling this. This in-seminal fact about that "Old Ship of Zion;" about their "Old Time Religion....it was good for Paul and Silas, good for the Hebrew children and it is good enough for me!" They were able to see through the forms and fashions ; to see beyond colors and hair texture to essence! And now, we, having held on to the hope of the faith that they had imbibed from their faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Mary's baby, who died for the truth on the cross! We now having rose anew with him in flesh and in spirit and in truth, we also celebrate with them, by and as them, their joint-heirs with Jesus; joint-heirs to the kingdom of God and to eternal life in the heavens! https://www.facebook.com/582153688/posts/10157102928973689/
