God made each of us in His image, therefore, we can say with conviction that black lives matter to God and to us. That’s a spiritual reality, not a political statement or an endorsement of the Black Lives Matter organization. 

Through the Gospel, men and women of all races, ethnicities, and nationalities become one family (Galatians 3:28, Revelation 7:9). And in this family, we bear one another’s burdens until Jesus’ kingdom comes in full. 

Jesus’ kingdom agenda does not align with the political right or left. It calls out racism as a sin, and calls us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).
