Gospel Light Minute X with Daniel Whyte III

He was a prominent leader in the American Civil Rights Movement, a Baptist minister, and a close friend and associate of Martin Luther King, Jr. Following King's assassination in 1968, he took up the leadership position of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference Poor People's Campaign and led the March on Washington, D.C. that had been planned for May 1968. At the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, he served as pastor of the largest black church in Montgomery, AL, and led the way in distributing flyers asking blacks to boycott Montgomery buses. For 13 years, from 1955 to 1968, he walked with King on his journey to tear down the walls of segregation and discrimination in the South. He endured bombings, beatings, jail time, confiscation of his family inheritance, and continual threats to march through the streets of the South proclaiming, “Let my people go.” He was with King on the night of his assassination and cradled him in his arms, as King took his last breath. After King's death, he continued the civil rights work that had been started. During his lifetime, he was honored with more than 300 awards and citations, including five Honorary Doctorate Degrees. He died in 1990. When asked by a college student how he came to know Jesus Christ as his Saviour, he said, "When I was a young boy I went to the altar one Sunday morning in my father’s Baptist church and there I met Jesus Christ. And I’ve never been the same." He said on another occasion, "Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history." His name is Ralph David Abernathy, Sr.

In Matthew 21, verses 1 through 11, Jesus Christ is making His triumphant entry into Jerusalem and when He arrives there, the people of the city ask an important question: Verses 10 and 11 say, "And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee." Today is commonly known as Palm Sunday and begins the week leading up to Easter Sunday when we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The people of Jerusalem asked an important question upon Jesus' arrival - WHO IS THIS? Today, we want to take a moment and talk about who Jesus Christ is or as Psalm 24:10 puts it, "Who is this King of glory?" Jesus is one of the most controversial figures in history. His true identity is what separates all world religions. Some claim He is just a good man and a prophet, others say He is a created being; still others say He is the Son of God. Every major religion acknowledges Jesus but only one can be right about who He really is. If you are seeking the truth, the beginning point of your search should be on the person of Jesus. + Plus, listen to Casting Crowns singing "All Because of Jesus"

He is a Christian hip hop artist signed to Reach Records, the record label that he co-founded. He has released five solo studio albums, and he is a member of the rap group 116 Clique, with whom he frequently collaborates. He has won numerous awards including Best Hip-Hop Music Video for the GMC Music Video Awards, Best Male Artist for 2006, and Best Album for 2006. He has also been nominated for a GMA Dove Award 5 times. His discography includes, "Real Talk", "After the Music Stops", "Rebel", "Rehab", and "Rehab: The Overdose". Raised by a single mother in Houston, Texas, he moved around a lot in his early years and soon dicovered rap as a way to convey his feelings to others. Before starting college, he was almost arrested for drug possession. When the police officer saw a Bible on the back seat of his car, he asked what it was. He told him, "I know I need to live it.” That night, the officer made a deal with him that if he agreed to live by the Bible, the officer would let him go. Soon after, a Christian leader encouraged him to attend a conference where he heard James G. White speak. From this encounter, he gave his life to Christ and became passionate about Jesus Christ and Christianity. This led him to print his salvation testimony and pass it out across the University of North Texas campus. After graduating from the University of North Texas, he began volunteering at a juvenile detention center and began work on his debut album. In 2005, he co-founded ReachLife Ministries which is a non-profit organization that exists to help equip local Christian leaders with tools and media projects that are culturally relevant and based on the teachings of the Bible. He says of his faith and his work, "I think every rapper is a preacher, it’s what’s the sermon that they are giving. Every rapper is preaching something. They are either preaching that you can find satisfaction in a million dollars or 50 women, or that you are not a real man unless you are a killer. I just look at myself as another individual who has a different message and a world view that I think is the most beneficial, the most helpful, and I’ll be honest, it’s the right one...I think a Biblical world view is the right world view." His name is Lecrae Moore.

In light of the tragic shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old unarmed young black man, and the explosive aftermath that has come from that across the nation, allow me to share with you a couple of letters that I wrote to my 3 Trayvons and to all of the Trayvons in America in my Essence national bestselling book, "Letters To Young Black Men". We know over a quarter of a million young men have read these letters because that is how many copies have sold, and if they shared it with their friends that number has quadrupled. It is my prayer and hope that Trayvon read it and applied it to his life before he was tragically killed. Since it is obviously true that all of us are Trayvon and any one of us can die at any time for no reason it is important that you listen to this message and take heed to it.
