In Mark 4 v 35ff Jesus and His disciples were in a boat, in a storm, it appeared that the boat would be swamped and they would all be drowned. Now Jesus was asleep at the back of the boat ,He must have been totally exhausted so the disciples went to Jesus woke Him and said, '' Teacher ,don't you care if we drown''. They called Him teacher, of course He was a teacher, the greatest who ever lived, there are many who like Gandhi accepted the teaching of Jesus, but that is where it stopped. Even His enemies said, 'No one ever spoke the was this man does '. John 7 v 46. But neither Gandhi nor his enemies accepted Him as Saviour, Jesus is not a Shakespeare ,Dickens, etc, He is a Saviour, in fact the only Saviour, who can forgive you your sins, and grant you eternal life. Of course we should not discount His teaching, for the words He spoke when believed ,will save us from error ,false religions, false ideas, and like Abraham we will be declared righteous by God.
