But they have also been misused in our conversations about ethnicity. I\u2019ve noticed that many evangelicals use this verse as a mute button for conversations dealing with ethnic tensions\u2014as if when they quote it, the ethnicity of believers somehow dissolves, and we just see people as Christian without any ethnic heritage.<\/p>\n<h2>Christian Color Blindness<\/h2>\n<p>The statement usually goes like this: \u201cWhen I look at people, I don\u2019t see color; I see souls who need Jesus.\u201d When someone says this to me, I ask how they see their brothers and sisters in Christ who are of a different ethnicity. The common response is sincere: \u201cI\u2019m color blind. I don\u2019t see color, I only see Christ.\u201d The irony is this that is usually\u2014though not always\u2014said by evangelicals of European descent.<br \/>\nThere is a difference between <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/what-god-calls-racism-the-sin-of-partiality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the sin of partiality<\/a><\/strong> and what I call Christian color blindness. Partiality can be hidden deeply in the heart, making it harder to call out, while Christian color blindness is usually expressed freely and sincerely. In my personal experience, when I engage in conversations on ethnicity, a response of Christian color blindness does more harm than good. Christian color blindness is when professing believers in Christ use a Jesus Juke<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a> to ignore other image bearers\u2019 ethnicity instead of affirming it. At the core of my soul, I believe that people who profess Christian color blindness do so with a sincere heart, hoping for unity in the body of Christ, and that they are unaware of the detriment of stripping the beautiful diversity of the body\u2014the unique ways different ethnicities exhibit God\u2019s image\u2014in the name of unity. Unity is not the same as conformity\u2014and Christian color blindness suggests that conformity is what is required for people of color to be a harmonious part of the body of Christ. When the people saying they are color blind are leaders of institutions, the institution likely lacks the diversity in leadership that projects Kingdom representation.<br \/>\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.navpress.com%2Fsites%2Fthedisciplemaker%2F2019%2F10%2Ffrom-color-blind-christianity-to-unity%2F&#038;text=Christian%20color%20blindness%20suggests%20that%20conformity%20is%20what%20is%20required%20for%20people%20of%20color%20to%20be%20a%20harmonious%20part%20of%20the%20body%20of%20Christ.&#038;via=da_horton&#038;related=da_horton' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian color blindness suggests that conformity is what is required for people of color to be a harmonious part of the body of Christ. <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.navpress.com%2Fsites%2Fthedisciplemaker%2F2019%2F10%2Ffrom-color-blind-christianity-to-unity%2F&#038;text=Christian%20color%20blindness%20suggests%20that%20conformity%20is%20what%20is%20required%20for%20people%20of%20color%20to%20be%20a%20harmonious%20part%20of%20the%20body%20of%20Christ.&#038;via=da_horton&#038;related=da_horton' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nI am a Christian who is Latino, and Christian color blindness stings my heart. It goes against God\u2019s intention for ethnic diversity, and it\u2019s an attempt to avoid needed conversations about ethnic diversity inside of the body of Christ, especially within evangelicalism. We don\u2019t need to put a gag order on these talks. We need to holistically deal with our ethnicity issues so that ethnic conciliation becomes evident in our denominational structures, higher-academic institutions, conference lineups, pastoral teams, and interpersonal relationships. If the church is to reflect God\u2019s character, we must ask ourselves a crucial question: Is God color blind?<\/p>\n<h2>God is Not Color Blind<\/h2>\n<p>God has created every human being in His image (Genesis 1:26-27), which means that we share snapshots of His character that no other creatures carry. Humans are God\u2019s crowning act of creation.<br \/>\nThe human race includes a multitude of ethnicities that God created out of His genius and for His glory. Ethnic diversity was God\u2019s idea. He has the patent on it and has licensed His church to do marketing for it. God didn\u2019t create us all the same, and He shows no partiality toward one ethnicity over another (Acts 10:34). It is God\u2019s design that we will retain our ethnicities eternally (Revelation 7:9). And since the church is a preview of heaven, it is no accident that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, commanded His followers to make disciples of every ethnic heritage (Matthew 28:19-20).<br \/>\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.navpress.com%2Fsites%2Fthedisciplemaker%2F2019%2F10%2Ffrom-color-blind-christianity-to-unity%2F&#038;text=Christian%20color%20blindness%20goes%20against%20God%E2%80%99s%20intention%20for%20ethnic%20diversity%2C%20and%20it%E2%80%99s%20an%20attempt%20to%20avoid%20needed%20conversations%20about%20ethnic%20diversity%20inside%20of%20the%20body%20of%20Christ%2C%20especially%20within%20evangelicalism.&#038;via=da_horton&#038;related=da_horton' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian color blindness goes against God\u2019s intention for ethnic diversity, and it\u2019s an attempt to avoid needed conversations about ethnic diversity inside of the body of Christ, especially within evangelicalism. <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.navpress.com%2Fsites%2Fthedisciplemaker%2F2019%2F10%2Ffrom-color-blind-christianity-to-unity%2F&#038;text=Christian%20color%20blindness%20goes%20against%20God%E2%80%99s%20intention%20for%20ethnic%20diversity%2C%20and%20it%E2%80%99s%20an%20attempt%20to%20avoid%20needed%20conversations%20about%20ethnic%20diversity%20inside%20of%20the%20body%20of%20Christ%2C%20especially%20within%20evangelicalism.&#038;via=da_horton&#038;related=da_horton' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nKnowing the sinfulness of man and how we long to segregate ourselves based on comfort and preferences, God saw the need to include in His Word insights about how, as His body, we are to personify unity without mandating uniformity.
