Christ Is My Sumatanga

'Christ is my Sumatanga.' So said a native Christian in India, expressing in his own way the comfort he found in the Saviour. In some parts of India there are provided along the road resting places for those who carry heavy loads on their heads. These places have a high shelf, upon which the man can easily shift off the heavy burden that he is carrying. Then beneath there is a shaded seat, where he can sit down and rest. It was with reference to one of these rests the native Christian expressed his faith in the words, 'Christ is my Sumatanga.'
