Love101: A Call to the Christians

Mahatma Gandhi (born Mohandas) was a Hindu from India who was most well known for his peaceful protests, and his anti-violence beliefs. He was a heavily religious man, and he very accurately addressed an unfortunate issue in the Christian church when he said:

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

He was absolutely right. As Christians, we tend to stray from the true message of Christ, and focus on a lot of negative in a person. In that sense, we are very unlike Christ.

Need I remind you who Jesus Christ is? He came to the earth to save it, He was the most absolute perfect being this earthly world has ever seen, and He is to be our role model for how we live our lives.

With that being said, Jesus was accepting of people, and loving to everyone. He hung out with the drags of society and preached to them. He expressed a love to those individuals.

How come we can’t do these things? We get too caught up on judging people for what they've done. I know we are not perfect, and we are capable of failure and hurt, but that does not mean that we should forget why we have been placed on this earth. We should help those who need it, fix those who have been broken, and preach to the lost!

It is for this very reason that we need to react with love.

So what will you do?
