By these words, the Lord is definitely pointing out that he takes the first step in choosing. We do not know Him first, and it is only when we accept Him as our saviour that we understand this mystery. I would like to tell you how the Lord chose me. I was very bitter against the Gospel of Christ. Though I was educated in mission high school in Punjab and spent seven years, I never cared to know anything about Christ. Most of us boys who were studying in the school hated Christians, and we used to make fun of Bible teachers and pastors. For five years I was in the boarding house. The Hindus and the Mohammedans lived on one side and the Christians on the other.
