Many times I have heard how God can break into tribal groups or people groups who are very poor and admit they have a sin condition in their heart which needs to be remedied. So when I heard years back about the Dalits of India having large numbers of people admitting their need for a Savior I noticed that once again God was reaching the poorest and most rejected people.
But now lately I have been impressed and awestruck by the fact that God has shown more of the depth and magnitude of his power when He has been making large in-roads into the hearts of high caste Brahmins who are the upper eschalon of Hindu society. These people to me represent a group of humans who are caught up in the sin of pride in its various forms. To see God penetrating pride at this level teaches me, as I mentioned earlier, how all-knowing and able He is to tackle any sin or thickness or depth of sin. Praise Him for being able to reach those of us (humans) who think we are already in nervana. He can find a way for his love to enter into a heart that believes they no longer need to be reborn to get closer to God or to be more like God or to be perfect- God meets us and humbles us and saves! This picture in the Indian levels of society- God reaching the outcasts at the bottom of the social ladder and also reaching the Brahmins at the top rung of the ladder - shows the full range of His marvelous power and inclusiveness! Jesus is victorious in reaching any seeker at any level of the social status among humans! Hallelujah!
