Deeply committed to his religion, Jayesh went to
the local temple every morning to worship his gods
and godesses. One day, he met Gospel for Asia
pastor Nabhith as they were walking past one
another through the village. It didn’t take long for
Pastor Nabhith to share his love for Jesus with
Jayesh.
As he listened to Pastor Nabhith talk about Christ,
Jayesh assumed the man was forcing local people to
convert to Christianity. Jayesh became deeply
angered. He told Pastor Nabhith to move out of
the village and stop converting people or he would
present a case against him to the local law
enforcement.
Pastor Nabhith calmly told Jayesh he wasn’t worried
about a case being brought against him because he
hadn’t done any of the things Jayesh was accusing
him of.
After hearing Nabhith’s response, Jayesh decided he
would not just report the pastor to the police—he
would kill him.
To justify his murderous scheme, Jayesh was
determined to catch Pastor Nabhith doing “evil
things,” so he began to watch Nabhith very closely.
Wherever the pastor went, Jayesh was close behind.
Instead of finding evidence against Nabhith,
however, Jayesh found there was nothing forceful in
the way the pastor shared his message with men and
women. He saw Pastor Nabhith visiting the sick and
desperate villagers out of a genuine love and
concern for them rather than with a secret motive
to gain power for himself or make the villagers
convert to his faith.
Was it possible Jayesh had misjudged this servant of
God?
When Pastor Nabhith was at his church one Friday
night to pray with other believers, Jayesh sat
outside the building listening to the way the group
spoke to one another and to the Lord. He heard
prayers full of compassion for sick people and
genuine concern for the villagers’ various needs.
Jayesh wanted to join them inside the church, but he
was nervous. He realized how desperately he needed
God’s forgiveness, and he began to weep.
Pastor Nabhith heard the loud cries and went
outside to find Jayesh, the man who had recently
been so angry and bitter, crying out to God. The
men went inside the church and prayed together.
Before the congregation, Jayesh shared that his plan
all along had been to murder Pastor Nabhith. He
repented and chose that day to follow Jesus.
“Now I know that there is no blame on him,” Jayesh
later said about Pastor Nabhith. “He worships the
real God.”
Jayesh and his entire family now joyfully worship
God along with Pastor Nabhith, whose life is truly a
reflection of the loving God they serve.
