Is Jesus truly a black man from Bethlehem Judea in Northeast Africa?
- The world is asking✍️
The racial and ethnic identity of YaHuShua (Jesus of Nazareth) is a topic of ongoing debate and discussion among scholars, theologians, and the general public. The Bible does not provide a physical description of Jesus, and his ethnicity and race are not explicitly stated.
Traditionally, Jesus has been depicted as a white man in Western art and culture, but this representation has been criticized for being biblically, culturally and historically inaccurate. Some scholars and experts argue that Jesus was likely a Middle Eastern Jewish man, with dark skin and hair, given his geographical and cultural context.
It’s important to note that the concept of race as we understand it today is a social construct and has evolved over time. The idea of race has been used to classify people into groups based on physical characteristics, but it does not define a person’s identity, culture, or worth.
Ultimately, the true appearance of Jesus is still a mystery and unknown to many, and his message of love, compassion, and redemption is what is most important to his legacy and teachings.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” -John 8:32
