Isn’t Jesus and Christianity white man’s religion? Native American Answers – Huron Claus

Is Christianity “white man’s” religion? Huron Claus, a Kiowa and Mohawk, has heard this question a lot. What he has discovered in the Bible has answered this question and objection for him.

Huron is speaking from a Christian Native American – First Nations perspective. He talks about how there is one Creator who is the maker of us all… people from every tribe and nation. Christianity is about Jesus Christ and how He came for everyone.

Related: Christianity is not the white man’s religion. It is not the whiteman’s gospel. Pictures of a white Jesus are inaccurate and misleading. Christianity did not have it’s beginnings in Europe. Being a Christian is not tied to or dependent on one’s ethnicity. Jesus came for the Human race. The Gospel is God’s answer for the need of every person no matter their skin color, language, or identity. Jesus came for people from every tribe and nation. He said Himself, in the Bible in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Transcript:
For God loved the world in this way t hat He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.

I would want you to know that truth, which I’ve tried to express in some of these answers. I’d want you to know that truth and have that seared into your soul. I want you to know that God loves you with a love that’s beyond comprehension, a love that’s beyond measure, and a love that on our part is undeserved.

Yeah, God loved you and me when we were unlovely, when we had nothing of value to give, when we were broken and maimed. God loves us. And He loved us enough not to leave us in that condition. He created us. We became broken. He didn’t want to leave us there. So He gave His one and only Son, Jesus, who took my sins and your sins, and He paid the penalty for my sins that’s required by a righteous and holy God who must judge sin. And He gave His Son to take my sin on Himself, pay my penalty and yours, and He gave me in place His righteousness.

And that’s available for you too. That whoever believes in Him, that that great exchange is made possible by Jesus, if you only believe that you’ll not perish and spend an eternity apart from God in an eternity called hell with no escape. No, that if you believe in God’s one and only Son, that you too, my friend, can have an intimate personal relationship with the God who created you and live in the place that He’s already gone to prepare for you. Will you trust Jesus today? Don’t let anything stop you. Today is the day of your salvation.
