Renowned Evangelist, Billy Graham Encourages Christians All Over the World
By CNP
Reverend Billy Graham who is set to make his last live appearance at the New York Crusade, in a recent post, encouraged Christians never to doubt God but to be thankful for what He has done.The evangelical leader explains, ‘Although Christians may have doubts in Jesus and His ability to rise from the dead, they should lay them at the foot of the cross and ask God to help them see Jesus as He really is.’He points specifically to John 20:29, where Thomas’ doubts about Jesus were gone once he saw the Risen Lord.He also referenced Luke, who, in spite of being a medical doctor, believed in Jesus’ death and resurrection.
‘How was it possible for Jesus to be raised from the dead? It could have happened only if God did it, and that’s precisely what took place, and because he rose from the dead, you and I can have hope – hope today and hope for life beyond the grave. Death has been defeated!’The preacher adds that although Jesus was able to rise from the dead, humans cannot escape the finality of death. ‘Death is our final enemy and once a person dies, they never return from the grave,’ he wrote.
Ultimately, Graham encourages Christians to lay their doubts about Jesus’ death and resurrection at the foot of the cross and just embrace God for who He is and the gift He has given us.‘Lay your doubts at the foot of the cross, and ask God to help you see Jesus as he really is. And on this Easter weekend, may you be like Thomas, whose doubts vanished once he saw the risen Christ,’ Graham reiterated.‘What will you do with your doubts? Will you let them take root and grow in your heart and mind? Will you even take pride in displaying them (as some people do)? Or will you turn them over to God and ask Him to help you grow stronger in your faith?‘Don’t stand still in your faith, Christians should make sure of their commitment to Jesus Christ and then learn to walk with Him every day.‘Build your life on the foundation of God’s Word, the Bible, and seek His help in prayer and in fellowship with other believers,’ Graham admonishes.
