Gandhi & Jesus : The Saving Power of Non-Violence

Studying Gandhi's writing and reflecting on his work have changed the way I understand Jesus When I read the new testament I am thrilled and emboldened by the filled with compassion brave nonviolent Jesus I find there Gandhi not only had a similar appreciation of Jesus but in his own life convincingly showed us that there is a way to live in this world actively working for the poor taking on power structures and enduring violence without succumbing to violence oneself his way of Satyagraha which means firmly holding to the truth in the midst of conflicts while reaching out with nonviolent suffering love when I read the sermon on the Mount I hear Jesus proclaiming the same truth the same way neither fight nor flight but a third way of assertive creative non violent love even for our enemies when i see a crucifix i can only do what Gandhi did in the famous scene caught on film when he happened.
