Nobody Special 152 | Ravi Zacharias and Decreasing Ourselves
Ravi Zacharias International Ministries recently put out a report detailing the allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse, and impropriety against founder Ravi Zacharias. Caleb and Danny talk about how we respond to this news and how we can decrease so that God might increase.
With the news of Christian Pastor and Teacher Ravi Zacharias, Danny and Caleb deal with the the news that someone we looked up to lead an entirely different life than what we originally expected. It seems as though, at some point, the organization became more about protecting the reputation of its founder rather than proclaiming the Gospel. We talk about what it means to allow ourselves to become nothing in order that Christ could become glorified through everything we do. We see this first in the struggle of John the Baptist and supposed competition with Jesus’ ministry.
Now a discussion arose between some of John’s disciples and a Jew over purification. And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness—look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him.” John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven. You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.’ The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:25-30, ESV)
