Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

A man who was completely innocent offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act. — Mahatma Gandhi

Happy Easter!

Gandhi was a very spiritual man and remarkably Christ-like for a non-member of the religion.

Despite his obvious admiration for Jesus the Christ, Gandhi never became a member of the faith. He explained his reluctance to become a Christian by saying, “Jesus is ideal, and wonderful. But you Christians, you are not like Him.”

Can anyone blame Gandhi for what he said about Christians as opposed to what he said about Jesus? He was absolutely right, and on both counts. He really nailed those of us who call ourselves Christian.

For that very reason – our failure – Jesus was nailed to a cross.
