Michael Green wrote the following,'If you want to know what God is like,look to Jesus. If you want to get through to God,come to Jesus. If you want to discover the epicentre of God's self- disclosure,you will find it in Jesus'. He goes on to write,'This is the claim. That is what makes Christianity at once so attractive and so widely hated. The sheer exclusivity of the claims drives people in one direction or the other'. Mahatma Gandhi was a man to be admired,he thought much of our Saviour, but he never came to know Him as his Saviour. He would say that many Christians failed to be Christians,failed to be like Christ,and I'm sure that was true,India was ruled by those who professed to be Christian's and felt that they were superior to the Indian population.One can understand Gandhi's point of view, when he was dying one of his relatives came to him and asked,''Babaki ,you have been looking for God all your life. Have you found him yet?' No,' was his reply. 'I'm still looking'.It is unfortunate to say the least that he missed the chance that he had to trust Christ ,could it be that this so called holy man could not come to terms with the fact that he was a sinner who needed a Saviour, as we all do.
