Juneteenth, I know many people don't know what Juneteenth is Let me give you a second so you can understand What Juneteenth is, and, on June nineteenth Alright, in, in, in 1865, everybody was supposed to be free, but there was, uh Some people who didn't know they were free In Texas, the people of Texas They, They, They didn't know slavery was over So if everybody's not free, then nobody's free, amen? And so on July fourth There were certain people who could not celebrate independence Their independence came on June nineteenth And so we can sit here and say "Man, we love the freedom that we get to experience as believers" But there's certain people out there that That don't have the freedom that we get to experience And we want them to experience that as well Well, in 1865, everybody needed to experience the freedom That they should have gotten and they didn't get that And so in this day and age, we wanna celebrate everyone's freedom We wanna celebrate the reality that God created us equal That we are all humanity That we are all God's children And we all deserve to enjoy, to taste and see that God is good Nobody should have that deprived of them And so that's why we're here today We're here to celebrate the reality that, man, God's people were set free They were set free Goodness and mercy pursued them and they were set free They were liberated and that's something that we celebrate If we can celebrate July fourth, we got to celebrate Juneteenth And so, y'all, it, it's so much bigger than that Because we're not just celebrating days We're celebrating that image-bearers People made in the image of God Could now now taste and see how good God is Could now dance in the streets together, hold hands And it, it wasn't complete freedom It, It obviously takes a minute But we're still here today to work toward that reality We're here today to celebrate what our ancestors couldn't celebrate, right? And we're here today to celebrate a, a bigger reality That even though some of us have been removed from slavery in an instant That sometimes it takes a lifetime to get the slavery out of us Sometimes that mentality still has to be removed from us And, and, and there are people here today Black and brown faces, who need to believe that they are free That they, that they have the same rights, the same liberty that God has given everybody And you know how they experience that? By, by love being demonstrated, by empathy being demonstrated By graciousness being demonstrated, by everyone being treated as God's image-bearers
