Daily Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries
He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light. Job 33:28
During the course of these Daily Devotions I've never told you a story about Mahatma Gandhi.
That may be because although Gandhi is considered to be the father of his country, India, and he is revered for his commitment to nonviolence, he wasn't much of a Christian. In fact, he wasn't a Christian at all.
But ... in his autobiography, Gandhi admits there was a time when he was truly interested in the Bible. Deeply touched by the Savior's work and the message of the Gospels, Gandhi seriously considered becoming a Christian.
In large part he was motivated by his belief that Christianity offered a real solution to the caste system that divided the people of India. It was that theory which one Sunday motivated Gandhi to walk to a nearby town and attend worship at a Christian church. It was his intent to see the minister and ask for instruction in the way of salvation as well as in other doctrines.
When Gandhi entered the sanctuary, the ushers decided he was not one of them. They refused to give him a seat and suggested he might be happier if he were to go and worship with his own people.
Gandhi left and he never came back.
