I couldn’t believe that I came from this culture of whiteness that has oppressed, marginalized, and brutally murdered those that don’t have white skin. I get angry, frustrated, and deeply agitated knowing that it was my own culture that erected things like the Confederate Monument in Stone Mountain, GA.

Through the incarnation of Christ, he became one of us; “he too shared in their humanity” and, “For this reason he had to be made like them.” Christ became like a brother and sister to us. Because Christ has incarnated himself into humanity, he fully feels the pain of what we’re feeling through the curse of sin.
