Mahatma Gandhi was influenced by Jesus primarily because of his teachings on nonviolence, love, and compassion. The Sermon on the Mount, in particular, resonated with Gandhi, as it emphasized forgiveness and turning the other cheek. Gandhi saw Jesus as a model of moral integrity and self-sacrifice, which inspired his own philosophy of nonviolent resistance in the struggle for India's independence. This alignment with Jesus' principles helped shape Gandhi's approach to social justice and civil rights.
