Response to viewer question about the race of Jesus

Mike affirms Jesus was Jewish through the line of Abraham, with Rahab as the only non-Jewish notable in the genealogy. He argues race as a concept is questionable and that he sees only one human race. He does not think the physical appearance of Jesus matters theologically, while acknowledging Jesus was likely somewhere in the middle of the global skin-tone spectrum.
