To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer. Ravi Zacharias More Quotes by Ravi Zacharias More Quotes From Ravi Zacharias Many Christians have so busied themselves with programs and activities that they no longer know how to be silent and meditate on God's word or recognize the mysteries that are in the Person of Christ. Ravi Zacharias silent mystery christian Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity.
