The first place I reached was the school where I used to study. When I found the head
teacher, I was trembling all over. I told him what had happened. He said, “My dear boy,
God saved you. We must thank him.” After we had thanked God for my escape from death,
the teacher said, “You will live long and be good to your family and friends.” But, more
than that, he sent a very good report about me to the engineering college. I was accepted into
that college, even though they did not know my results from Madras University.
I did not know who the man in white was, the one that warned me of danger, but my
head teacher knew. “It was Jesus who came to you,” he said. What happened to me that
day changed my whole life. I realised that God loved me and saved me from terrible trouble.
The head teacher’s words came true. I have lived a long time. The story I have just
told you happened long ago, in 1947! I never saw my head teacher after that, but I began
to follow Jesus that day and he has been my faithful friend for all these years.
