I did not ever meet the man but my heart is sad today. Sad for the world's loss of the grestest preacher of the 20th century. At age 99 Rev. Billy Graham has been called home to Heaven. "Someday you will hear rumors of my death, but I will be more alive than ever. I will just have moved on to my real home with Jesus."
Billy Graham has made it home and I am sure that he heard the words he longed to hear (and that all should long to hear) from our Lord, "Well done my good and faithful servant. Welcome home!"
Billy (if I may use his first name) was a good and faithful servant. Due to his faith and obedience many souls were introduced to Christ and the kingdom expanded. Many will be in Heaven and not suffering in Hell. Many have grown in their own faith and obedience.
Today and in the days to come we say goodbye to a public figure who lived 99 years and spent them serving and loving others, sacrificing time with his family to ensure that others heard the eternity changing message of Christ.
Billy, you lived well and now enjoy Heaven. Many of us will join you someday because you obeyed and shared. Thank you. You are loved and missed. It is now up to my generation and my daughter's to take up where you left off and continue to boldly, loving and obediently sharing the eternal and eternity changing message of Christ.
I can only imagine how amazing your first Heavenly Easter will be celebrating Christ in His throne room. Wow!
"Christ not only died for all. He died for each. "
