I Remember Them with Tears for Bringing me to Christ
Those who oppose him he must gently instruct…2 Tim 2:25(NIV)”
The Satan tried his level best to destroy my newly found faith. Pastor Jacob George, Brother Verghese Pulikottil, Mathai uncle, his wife, George Joy, his wife Sutha, Paul, EV Verghese, Johnson and his wife and so many others whom I can never forget in my life, strengthened my faith and laid a strong foundation in Christ by obeying the Word of God in Luke 22:32 “When you have returned to me, strengthen your brethren” by their sustained fellowship, visit, love, moral support apart from upholding me in all their prayers. I recall the innumerable occasions I had insulted them, neglected, ignored, irritated, avoided them and argued with them just for the sake of argument. I still remember the days when
I used to go for walking on seeing them in order to avoid them off. But they ignored all my irritant behavior and went on firmly in bringing me to Christ by preaching the Word as Apostle Paul has exhorted in 2 Tim 4:2, “in season and out of season”. They loved me and my son so much; they were ready to do anything for us expecting nothing from us. They reflected the true love of Jesus Christ. It was their sincere, true, selfless Christian love that finally cracked me and won me fully to Christ. I was able to see Jesus in them. I received the holy love of Jesus through them. They were really true Christians. I was a hard nut to crack and a very strong religious minded Hindu. I had studied Hindu Vedas and Scriptures and I was very deeply engrossed into it. Further I had hated Christianity and was dead against it. I was an educated, experienced and matured person and not to be easily converted on account of my son’s sickness alone. It was their sincere prayer, love, real Christian life and fellowship that turned my mind and soul to Jesus Christ. It is because of them, we are now enjoying such a blessed life with so much of peace, happiness, love and fellowship of so many people that we have not enjoyed in our entire life.
