3 Thoughts around Billy Graham's Death

Billy Graham died three years ago yesterday. So here’s three thoughts around his death…

1. He was a faithful man and I'm thankful for his ministry and legacy.

2. Please understand that God did not take Rev Billy Graham home. God received him in His arms of love but did not take him. God is not the author of death!

3. A lot of people said he will hear the Father say, "Well done my good and faithful servant." And I believe he will, but not for obvious reasons. In fact, I have had several conversations with people hoping God will look at them and say, “Well done my good and faithful servant,” based on what they do on Earth (behavior). However, that statement is not going to be said based on what we do. That statement is going to be said based on whether or not we believed and trusted in Jesus. My friend Reggi says it this way, “There is only ONE good and faithful servant to have ever lived, and His name is Jesus.” So the question is, do we believe Jesus to be the Savior of the world? If so, we will be credited as a good and faithful servant on Jesus’ behalf! So please stop striving to become a good and faithful servant and start realizing you already are a good and faithful servant because the good and faithful servant lives in you. Your behavior is a by-product of truly knowing your position as a child of God.
