"Faith in the biblical sense is substantive, based on the knowledge that the One in whom that faith is placed has proven that He is worthy of that trust. In its essence, faith is a confidence in the person of Jesus Christ and in His power, so that even when His power does not serve my end, my confidence in Him remains because of who He is."
-- Ravi Zacharias, Jesus Among Other Gods: The Absolute Claims of the Christian Message.
Dear Ravi,
I am writing to express my profound gratitude to you for submitting to the will of your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to be used in many ways to be a blessing to people you know and many you may not even know their names like me. We are eternally grateful. I wish to have met you personally but if that will not be possible, we will meet someday God willing.
Well, firstly, I want you to know that I personally appreciate you for pointing me to Christ in all your teachings. Even though you sound intellectual and philosophical, but you never fail to present the Saviour of our soul, Jesus Christ, to us in all your numerous presentations whether before an audience of Christians, atheists, students, military and politicians.
We will never fail to watch and listen to your messages such as Jesus: A Unique Savior; Jesus Among Other Gods; Who is Jesus?; Jesus Among Secular Gods, among others. These will keep preparing us for the battle of sharing the Gospel in this hostile world.
Preaching Jesus is so important to me and many other old and young preachers because we don't need to present our own ideas in our Christological teachings. As you know, Jesus Christ, has been caricatured by many preachers as somebody He is not. They present a Jesus who was not prophesied in the Old Testament, manifested in the Gospels and preached by the Apostles in the epistles. You preached Christ who saves according to the Scriptures.
Thank you for presenting Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, the soon coming King. You preached Christ and Him crucified.
You are indeed a warrior!
