Black Lives In The Bible: Zipporah

Continuing with the series: “Black Lives In The Bible,” we see Zipporah, a Black woman and the wife of Moses. We see through her brother-in-law and sister-in-law (Moses’ siblings), that through a situation they were racist towards her. And we see because of this situation God hates racism, as well as having His decisions challenged by man’s opinion. Racism is not a skin color issue, it’s a heart issue. In looking at the account of Moses’ siblings’ racism towards his wife, we see that the Hebrews were held back from moving forward, until Moses’ sister’s bad heart was sanctified and transformed. Racism doesn’t just hold back the racist, it holds back the subjugated as well.

Black Lives In The Bible: Encounters With Jesus- Simon of Cyrene

To kick off this series: “Black Lives In The Bible,” Seele Editor, Ally unpacks Simon of Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry His cross up the Via Del Rosa, and he had a personal encounter with Jesus, as He served the Savior in His final hour, an encounter that you and I are invited to have with Him as well. We see one key factor, symbolism really that as Simon carried the cross and followed Jesus, Jesus was modeling discipleship. Jesus was still leading as He walked into death. Blacks and minorities who carry their individual crosses of racism are to follow Jesus, as He leads us into a victorious life. All people in the crosses that they bear are to follow Jesus, as He leads all into a victorious life.
