Hindu Judge of Indian Supreme Court Professes Faith in Lord Jesus Christ

"I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the Angels of God." (Luke 12:8)

Justice R Banumathi was one of the six women judges in the Supreme Court of India. Before being elevated to the supreme court in 2014, she served as the chief justice of the Jharkhand high court for nearly a year. After accomplishing her service in the Indian judiciary very commendably for more than three decades, she got retired on 19th July, 2020. As that day was a holiday, she was given an online farewell by the judges and staff of the supreme court on the last working day ie 17th July, 2020.

Justice Bhanumathi was admired by one and all as an upright and hard working judge. As she hails from a poor and economically backward atmosphere, she personally knows the plight of the poor people as she herself admitted that she and her family had been a victim of judicial delay.

In the online farewell meeting, all her colleagues including senior judges, the Attorney General of India and other dignitaries who participated, spoke in admiration of her good qualities such as her honesty and integrity. But she in her farewell address, used the opportunity to smartly grab the acknowledgement of Lord Jesus Christ by confessing openly saying, "though I am a hindu, I believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it is by the Grace of Jesus Christ that I could study and come up in life. She also asserted firmly and fearlessly, "During my judicial service, there were mountains of obstacles for no reason. Yet no human hand could prevent what Jesus Christ has ordained for me in my life."

Here is the video of the farewell speech of Justice R Banumathi (which has gone viral) in which she stunned everyone by declaring publicly her faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At a time when India is governed by people who are infamous for their policies of hatred and intolerance to other religions, the confession of Justice Bhanumathi has great significance before God which only she valued above all!
