“Is Not My Word . . . Like a Hammer?” Jer. 23:29

By Arputham Aservatham

I WAS employed as a teacher in the Seventh-day Adventist mission school in Pragasapuram, south India. One day the head teacher, Mr. Thomas, was writing some texts on the board for a Bible class. The matter interested me, and from that day we had regular Bible study. The Word of God broke my heart like a hammer. Soon I came to a definite conclusion to obey God. One Friday evening, just before the Sabbath, I said, “Brother Thomas, I have decided to keep God’s Sabbath from this day forward.”
My parents threatened me. They even hired magicians to poison my mind against the truth; but their attempts had no effect. I said to my parents, “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in them.” The Word, which made a thorough change in my life, has comforted me in all the threatenings and persecution, and now I am rejoicing in the truth.
