    The sovereign God of heaven and earth granted Dominica independence.

    Our Savior – the Lord Jesus Christ – suffered as no man has ever suffered, the just for the unjust, bleeding and dying to save you from sin.

    The Bible does not say He was white.

    The Bible does not say He was black.

    This tells me the color of His skin was not and is not important.

    Christ was a Jew. I am a Gentile. But His blood was not Jewish blood. It was not Gentile blood. It was a supernatural creation. It was Divine! Read Acts 20:28. This is why Christ was born without sin. This is why the blood of that one man – the man Christ Jesus – could redeem a world of lost sinners! Billions of lost sinners can be washed clean in that crimson flow!

    Christ is the Savior for ALL people. But YOU must believe that His death on the cross has paid the penalty for YOUR sins and receive Him as your PERSONAL Savior.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

      My friend, it is the precious blood of Christ that saves if you believe in Him and receive Him as your Savior. This is how you can be saved. Please read John 3:16, Revelation 3:20. You can be right about His color and still go to hell if you are not saved.

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

      It is a beautiful picture.

      Happy people dressed in such attractive colors.

      A group of Dominicans celebrating the independence of their nation.

      In the background a picture representing Christ on the cross reminding us of the greatest and most wonderful freedom – the freedom from sin – that ONLY comes through faith in Him according to Acts 4:12. Freedom from every other bondage and oppression also comes because of Him, from Him, and by Him. He is the source and fountain head of all true liberty :!:

      The gospel (good news) is the message of how He died for our sins, and was buried, and that He rose again the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. We are saved by believing this according to Romans 1:16, John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8,9.

      People can discuss and argue about the details of the birth, appearance, life, and death of Christ that are not revealed. to us in the Bible. But what is clearly stated in the Word of God we MUST believe :!:

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald…

    Nice picture but the background just messed it up completely. Did we get independence from a white man on a cross?
