Separate Ways

Subject: Ghandi
Ghandi once said "I like their Christ but I don't like their Christians"

What does this say about us as followers of Christ? Clearly we are not doing things right if this is the perception people have of followers of Jesus. A Pharisee had asked Jesus what the greatest commandment of all was in order to trap Him in His words, but God saw through this and continued to state the following:

Matthew 22:37-39

"Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself."

Why are these two the greatest commandments? Simple: How can evil be done if love exists? It is within this commandment that we are not following Jesus' law, afte rall if we were to Love our neighbors as ourselves would Ghandi have any reason to state what he did?

Jesus' followers are suppose to be people of love, people who serve and care and yet it is more common to see a "follower" of Christ that is more cynical and judgmental than the other.

So how do we fix this? We start at the heart of the problem- Our hearts. We need to be more involved in peoples lives
