So surreal. People are here and then they’re not. So many cristians and pastors told me I was going to hell because of my mental illness. Ravi gave me hope and helped me heal my cptsd symptoms. Yes it was sin, symptoms of being abused since diapers. Ravi kept my hope alive. I made it through suicide.....Jesus give him a hug for me❤️

I hope Prince William's mental health program concentrates on functionality, for drugs/Pharmakea is rooted in Deception. STAY AWAY FROM TOXIC PEOPLE. It's easier said than done, when those toxic people manipulate those around you with lies oftentimes. That is abuse of freedom.

[@normabrown8650]

I may not have meet Ravi but his love of Christ made us brother and sister. So glad I found him on utube.

[@dawnrowe867]

Thanks for sharing. I love Ravi and look forward to heaven with him. Although I never met him, he was a mentor to me. He was a wonderful example of a man totally surrendered to Jesus. He loved like Jesus. It is an honor to be a part of his funeral.

[@busolajegsjegede9079]

As we are bidding you farewell here, you are being welcomed home in heaven. I pray your family are consoled, as they must be absolutely proud of you.

[@rhondaelizabeth3904]

A true son of the most highest God we will never forget Ravi Zacharias Pease and Everlasting Love.

[@teebee2830]

Ravi is so courteous and discerning and humble towards people. There are so many take aways from this interview that I will know my audience and to REALLY treat people as I and Jesus has willed us to be treat everyone. treated

[@MrBigcraft]

God bless you Ravi. I pray on that great day when the trumpets sound you will be there. God bless your family and anyone reading this.

[@patrickoconnor9700]

Amen to that. 😊

Ravi Zacharias What can be said for such a genuine gentleman, who was always glorifying the Almighty Lord and attributing all his success to His amazing grace. Such a highly educated, decorated and well connected person, and so humble, down to earth. What a glittering personality. Always a pleasure and privilege to hear him. Never met him, and that would be a lifelong regret. Even at this age, the ability to recite the text, context, and recall the names, and events, what a blessing. It all stands on sincere discipline, dedication, determination and complete fear of the Lord. All that comes to my mind, bearing in mind, Ravi's constant travel, a back pain, with 2 titanium rods in the back, not able to bend for 27 years, yet cheerfully walking out to preach the gospel. Always ready to hear out, giving time to ordinary people. What an example! The following passage, so beautifully sums up Ravi's evangelical mission "For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold," 2 Timothy:4:3 "And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions." 2 Timothy:4:4 "As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry." 2 Timothy:4:5 "For I am already about to be sacrificed [my life is about to be poured out as a drink offering]; the time of my [spirit's] release [from the body] is at hand and I will soon go free." 2 Timothy:4:6 "I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith." 2 Timothy:4:7 Yes, Ravi Zacharias had fought a good fight and kept the faith, even when the physical body was groaning with pain and discomfort, and warmth of the home and comfort of routine life was beckoning.....Ravi willingly and enthusiastically chose to do His Master's bidding. What an amazing blessing and testimony, Ravi's life has been to those who had the privilege to meet, interact and share his beliefs in person or through media. And a great thing that Ravi did, was to create a platform for the future.... where highly educated, brilliant minds are trained in apologistic to reach the world. Ravi was so magnanimous that he allowed the new members of the team to share and address the conferences ahead of him. A truly wonderful gentleman. How gloriously true the following verses are for Ravi's life "[The Lord] raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill," Psalms:113:7 "That He may seat them with princes, even with the princes of His people." Psalms:113:8 A youngster from India, finds his situation so grim and hopeless, that he attempts suicide, is saved just in nick of time, reaches out to life, just because someone reached out to him with Gospel in the hospital. When he found the God's love in his life, he was so eager to share the Love of God with the lost souls of the world. Willing and ready to go everywhere, anytime to share the Gospel. I am from Bangalore, India who never had the privilege to see/meet Ravi in person but am blessed by his ministry. Thank you,. God bless you all. Praveen Das

[@simethio2517]

Thank you for sharing this🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 He will be missed ❤️

[@S4CInternational2017]

To God be the glory! God has used this man so marvelously in my own personal life. His personality, his wisdom, his passion for Christ, his respect for people, and his acute communication ability, just to name some, have revived the souls of many through the message of Jesus-Christ crucified for the salvation of humanity. We'll see him in Heaven! Until then, let's stick to the cross!

[@jenlunarusty]

Thank you for teaching me so much Ravi. A true apostle of our time. Going to honor your teachings Ravi by teaching others about the love of Jesus

[@brendageorge2245]

How very sad for me this morning to learn of Ravi's passing. I was shocked beyond words because I knew we've lost a very special man of God that's irreplaceable. I never had the privilege of meeting him but listening to him, I knew he was one of the great Christian minds of our day. RIP dear brother.

[@MarlonVan]

Wow so moving. We lost a true General in the ministry. What a inspirational man. Rest in peace Ravi

[@andreechristian1006]

I just cannot stop crying. We never met before, Ravi, but surely i already missed you. I can't wait to see you in heaven!

[@nathandaniel4506]

[@SantinoCadiz]

Amen! We shall all see one another on that glorious day!

[@AncientWarriorsAndYou]

May God Bless you always Ravi. An inspiration in my life i can never forget. This pain we are feeling is un-explainable. A man we did not know, and yet a man who was so close to us in our hearts.

[@jesussavesandlovesus]

God Bless his soul😢. I loved to listen to his sermons and I will continue.

[@ericboateng1781]

Thank you Lord for giving us Ravi Zacharias. He has done so much for me. I would love and am inspired to be an apologist like him.

[@renupaul4357]

So blessed to have shared this time on earth with great apostle like Ravi Zacharias. He's a mentor to millions. What an awesome life lived unto the Lord. Thank you Ravi for showing us the way in humility and courage to follow our Savior. I will see you one day. Till then will not quit and will continue to follow Christ.

[@theonemrham]

Rest In Heaven Mr. Ravi... Thanks for being an extraordinary Servant God and follower of Christ!! Prayers for his family and friends!

[@hannahramirez8898]

[@love4allinmyheart]

R.I.P dear pastor miss you a lots may Lord Jesus give you a great love and good place amen

[@aboutmyfathersbusiness8324]

My wife saw Ravi in a dream yesterday. In a giant study hall surrounded by books, she was viewing from a balcony above. She observed many people below in deep discussion. A voice she was familiar with caught her ear. She then drew her attention to a man in deep discussion with another. Saying to her friend that was next to her (Hey thats Ravi!) She was then positioned like a child , next to the two men; looking up at them, there was something different about Ravi that she noticed instantly. He looked young, mid to late 30's... She then woke up...

[@ethanputman3471]

It kind of hurts.... Ravi certainly helped change my life. Everything inside of me, tells me he has been well received in the house of the Lord. Well done Ravi Zacharias. RIP

[@xmochix604]

[@uwemoo9257]

[@teebee2830]

Awesome and I am so grateful to God for introducing me to Ravi, and i did not know that Tebo was that on fire for Jesus. God is great.

[@elizabethkruger1217]

Ravi Zacharias was a gentle and brilliant speaker for Jesus Christ, the Lord of lords. Ravi was a spiritual father to so many, and he has entered the glorious place, with Jesus. Well-done, faithful servant of the Lord God! You will be missed! You have left a great legacy for us, true followers of Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for drawing more people to You. Thank You, Lord God for comforting Your children and for raising many more genuine workers for Your Kingdom.... Hallelujah

A champion of our faith, God is calling many of them home now, its time for the body of Yeshua to rise up. These champions have poured into us, now we pour into the world.

[@terracotta6294]

Only 87 comments? Is this RIGGED? At about 1hr 15-20 min a guy claims How Great Thou Art was written by a Swede and recites "the original version" WHICH RHYMES. Weren't these people screened before they spoke? Is it that important to dumb down USA?

[@jahrabuya762]

Lord please raise one or two persons just like him.

[@JT-yo]

What a disgrace of a man. Horrific what he's done.

[@evas8880]

The world just lost an apologetic giant who taught me that no century , no culture or no civilization can outsmart Christianity and if you got Jesus Christ you have it all . Who also have respect for the Mother of God Saint Mary .

And those dislikers, I know who they are. how would you be so unethical and I don't Understand What's there to Dislike.

[@visualwebsystems7331]

Dear @Slippery Storm, I dont know you, you dont know me. But, dont you recognize a good man when you see it? You may not share his believe, but this day no one raised a finger saying Ravi you did wrong to me. Just grieve the lost of a good man, maybe a good neighborn, someone you can trust. I do share Ravi's faith and the greatest probe his believe was true to him, is the life he lived. You may not share it, but he shared what he believed was true. Dont we all do that?

[@patrickoconnor9700]

@Slippery Storm When did he lie about his credentials? You talk about evidence, but Where's the evidence of that? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnOTZnWGo6hooZI
