A familiar lie has circulated among too many of our people for far too long. People say that Jesus is the "white manโs God" and Christianity belongs to European culture. That falsehood is designed to keep us from what God has always intended for us.
It is true that some stole the Way of Christ. They misused His name to justify slavery and theft. But they do not own Jesus. THEY DO NOT GET TO DEFINE HIM.
In Luke 12:49, Jesus said, "๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ฉ๐..."
This isn't a cozy campfire. This is a disruptive, purifying wildfire.
Jesus came from a tribal people, the tribe of Judah. He knew that when we reclaim this Holy Spirit fire, it creates tension between old ways and new life. He warned that truth brings division, even among kinfolk, because the gospel exposes distortions and burns away cultural lies.
The original fire of God didn't start in European cathedrals. It started in the desert wilderness. That was a rugged, windswept country of dirt, rocks, and wide-open skies that looked a lot like the bluffs right here in Lower Brule.
From the very beginning, the eternal fire of the Most High God was meant to dwell inside people from ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐, ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง (Revelation 7:9).
