It is now the second day since I arrived back from India. I am just starting to catch up with things and a day or two more will complete the task.

Today in India is independence day. It is of course the day when they won their freedom from the British after a long struggle. The most famous person involved in this struggle was of course Mahatma Gandi who once said:

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

Perhaps he was right to make this comparison. Which of us can ever really match up to Christ? On the other hand all of us could do with being a little more Christ-like, particularly in our dealings with each other.

Let the world see Christ in us and let us see Christ in each other. Who knows where it might lead us?

God bless
