I Like Christ, I Don’t Like Christians

There was a story told concerning former Prime Minister of India Gandhi. Years ago a British missionary asked the former Prime Minister of India Dr. Gandhi if he would consider becoming a Christian. Gandhi said no. The missionary said why.

Ghandi had seen how the so called Christians in South Africa had treated non whites. Gandhi the English educated man of non violence had experienced first hand, ridicule, scorn and mistreatment at the hands of those who went to church on Sunday and claimed to be Christians. Gandhi said ‘I like your Jesus, I do not like your Christians, they are so unlike your Jesus.’

From a sermon by Jeffery Anselmi, "Making Christianity A Burden To Others" 8/1/08
