A story to make you think...
An Afrro-American was standing outside an evangelical church in one of the southern states of the US. It was many years ago, and the church was for whites only. Just then Jesus came along, and asked him what he was doing there. The man told him that he loved listening to the singing, and that was why he was standing outside the door listening. He went on to explain that, because of his colour, he could not enter the church. Jesus smiled wryly, and said, 'I know how you feel. I myself have been trying to get into that church since it was opened!'
