Mahatma Gandhi once said, "If Christians lived according to their faith, there would be no more Hindus left in India."  This great leader of the Indian nation was fascinated at the thought of knowing Christ.  But when he met Christians, he felt let down.  Unfortunately, the world is filled with people who feel the same.  They are intrigued by the claims of Christ, but they shrink back because of disappointment with his offspring. 

"Don't look at people," we might protest.  "Look at Jesus."  But while that may be true, the sobering truth remains:  Whether we like it or not, we're the only Jesus some will ever see. 

Dwight L. Moody put it this way:  "Of one hundred men, one will read the Bible; the ninety-nine will read the Christian."
