Indian political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi once made the following observation about Christ and Christians:
"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
That should be a jarring statement for any Christian to hear. It should not be a statement to resist or to argue with, but rather a statement to ponder and to reflect upon.
Unfortunately, too frequently Gandhi is correct. Unfortunately, too frequently there are Christians - everywhere - who are so un-Christ-like. And that's what leads non-Christians such as Mahatma Gandhi to make such poignant and telling observations.
Are you a Christian?
Are you like or unlike Christ?
Sometimes it takes a non-Christian to point out the difference.
