INTRODUCTION
God is a Negro!
One might ask or some might ask, how did you come up with the conclusion God is a Negro?
Before I answer that question, let us do some investigative reporting of the fact. Before we delve into that, let us first define what or who is a Negro.
Negro: Is a person of Black African ancestry. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary
In 1675 the word Negro did not exist. it is a term that means black and was coined by the Portuguese.
So, today we would not use the term Negro, we would use the term Black. However, the two words are synonymous for dark skin.
As I refer to God in this message, I am referring to God the Son whom we call Jesus Christ the Second Person of the Trinity.
Where was man created?
The Garden of Eden (Genesis 1:26-28)
Who was the first man?
Adam
Who was Jesus referred to as?
The second/last Adam (I Corinthians 15:45)
All of you Bible readers know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which was Palastine also known as Israel, which was called Canaan. Canaan was the son of Ham who is considered to be the father of Alkebu-lan or Africa.
Question “Where are the oldest human remains?
Go ahead Google it:
Answer: Morocco, Africa!
I don’t have time to exegete the text, we will revisit it another time and I invite you to do study on your own. I will only add for you to keep in mind Israel sits in the middle of 3 continents:
Africa

God is a Negro!
Before we study the text let’s put things in context. Jesus just finished consuming the Last Supper and He had just finished praying at the Garden of Gethsemane.
Now as He has just finished conversing with the Father soldiers, law enforcement, the police have just come to apprehend Him.
How do we know the police have come to apprehend Jesus? Well in John 18:3 we read
“The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a contingent of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove.”
So here is Jesus with the police which consisted of soldiers and the temple guards with weapons. They have swords and clubs ready to apprehend Jesus like a common criminal.
God is a Negro!
Point #1 The Soldiers AKA The Police
We know Jesus was a Negro because when the police come there is always more than one to take down one brother.
I was driving home from work the other day and I saw one brother being detained and 4 or 5 police cars were on the scene.
Jesus said, “You want me? I’m here, let these people go.”
“I was at the Temple everyday and you didn’t come after me.” Now you come at me with the police? What’s up?
Point to remember:
Sometimes trouble comes when you are doing good.
But you know what? Trouble don’t last always!
God is a Negro!
