Jesus Is Transcendent
Jesus Is Transcendent By Billy Graham • May 21, 2017 Come to Christ, who is the living Foundation of Rock upon which God builds; though men have spurned him, he is very precious to God who has chosen him above all others. —1 Peter 2:4 (TLB) No personality in history stands above Jesus Christ. Agnostics and atheists have found fault with Christian ideas, but they can never find fault with the Person of Jesus Christ. They have found fault with…
Truth Brings Freedom
Truth Brings Freedom By Billy Graham • May 7, 2017 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. —John 8:36 The mark of a true Christian is found in his personal relationship to the Person of Jesus Christ. Christianity is Christ. Christ is Christianity. I speak reverently when I say that Jesus is more than His ideas. All that He said was true, but without Him even the truth would have been powerless. Men know…
He is Alive!
He Is Alive! By Billy Graham • April 24, 2017 Because I live, ye shall live also. —John 14:19 For personal Christianity, the resurrection is all-important. There is a vital interrelation to the existence of Christianity itself, as well as to the individual believer, in the message of the Gospel. The Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, said, “Do you want to believe in the living Christ? We may believe in Him only if we believe in His corporeal resurrection. This is…
What a Savior!
What a Savior! By Billy Graham • April 5, 2017 It was written long ago that the Messiah must suffer and die and rise again from the dead on the third day. —Luke 24:46 (TLB) What was the power and influence that changed the cross from an instrument of bloody torture into the most glorious and beloved of all symbols?

Not Just a Man
Not Just a Man By Billy Graham • April 3, 2017 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. —Colossians 1:17 Napoleon was right when he said, “I know men, and I tell you, Jesus is more than a man. Comparison is impossible between Him and any other human being who ever lived, because He was the Son of God.” Emerson was right when he replied to those who asked him why he did not include…
Jesus is coming
Jesus Is Coming By Billy Graham • March 4, 2017 But don’t forget this, dear friends. . . . He isn’t really being slow about his promised return, even though it sometimes seems that way. But he is waiting, for the good reason that he is not willing that any should perish, and he is giving more time for sinners to repent. —2 Peter 3:8,9 (TLB) Many people are asking, “Where is history heading?” A careful student of the Bible…
How Will You Live?
How Will You Live? By Billy Graham • February 18, 2017 And Jesus said, . . . and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. —Mark 14:62 The world in which we live is full of pessimism. No Christian has the scriptural right to go around wringing his hands wondering what we are to do in the face of the present world situation. The Scripture says…
Eyes to See
Eyes to See By Billy Graham • January 18, 2017 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light . . . —Acts 26:18 The blind man, Bartimaeus, threw off his cloak and ran trembling to Jesus. And Jesus said, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” In that moment as he said, “Lord,” his spiritual eyes were opened. And Jesus said, “Your faith has made…
Truth
Truth By Billy Graham • January 17, 2017 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. —John 8:32 Ours is an age of philosophical uncertainty, and we no longer know what we believe. We stand uncommitted. Everywhere I go, I ask students, “What is controlling you?” When I was a student, I had to face Christ. Who was He? He had made the astounding claim, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No…
The Prince of Peace
The Prince of Peace By Billy Graham • December 17, 2016 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. —Proverbs 10:12 To hate, to discriminate against those who look different, who talk different, who have different national backgrounds, or who act differently from the dominant group, is a universal trait of human nature. I say that there is only one possible solution and that is a vital experience with Christ on the part of all races. In Christ the…
Whose Son Is He?
Whose Son Is He? By Billy Graham • November 25, 2016 To us there is but one God, the Father . . . and one Lord Jesus Christ . . . —1 Corinthians 8:6 Ultimately, in one way or another, or at one time or another, we shall be faced with this question: What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? If Jesus Christ is not who He claimed to be, He is a deceiver, or an egomaniac. We…
Life Worth Living
Life Worth Living By Billy Graham • November 21, 2016 . . . ye might have life through his name. —John 20:31 “Is life worth living?” To scores of people life has ceased to be worth living. To all of you I have good news. God did not create you to be a defeated, discouraged, frustrated, wandering soul, seeking in vain for peace of heart and peace of mind. He has bigger plans for you. He has a larger orb…
