There still seems to be confusion about which lives matter. About who is precious. I thought the song settled that a long time ago. You know what song I’m thinking of? As a kid, I learned to sing, “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” Isn’t that still true today? Jesus loves all the children—and the grown-ups too!—of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, we are precious in his sight.
Here’s proof from God’s Word: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). God’s love for you and me and the people of the world isn’t based on skin color, it’s based on Christ Jesus. Know what Jesus did? The second verse of that children’s song tells us: “Jesus died for all the children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. Jesus died for all the children of the world.” Jesus settled it when he died for the sins of the world. Every life is precious in his sight!
