New Beginning for Billy Graham
00:02:48

|
| Today I was awakened by the sad news that the man who has preached in person to more people and won more souls to Jesus Christ than any other man has died. | |
| My friend Billy Graham and a friend to millions has gone to be with the Lord today. | |
| Billy Graham was born in 1918 and has left this earth today, February 21st, 2018. | |
| The year he was born ends with an eight, a number that means a new beginning. | |
| A beginning surely for Billy Graham, whose birth was a new beginning for the world, as he would lead millions and millions to Christ, like no other man before him. | |
| Today, in the year 2018, that also ends with an eight, we see not an end, but rather a new beginning, a beginning of an eternity walking with his Savior, Jesus Christ, and meeting millions who he has led to the Savior. | |
| Billy Graham walked with and ministered to the leaders of the world. | |
| He prayed with every president during his ministry years. | |
| He ministered to everyone from royalty to the lowest of the low. | |
| I know this because at my lowest moment, Billy Graham walked into my prison, threw his arms around me, and he said, Jim, I love you. | |
| The day before, I heard on the radio that he had been voted one of the top three most respected men in all the world. | |
| And now he was in my prison comforting me. | |
| The week was released. | |
| I was released from prison. | |
| I was sitting in the Graham home eating chicken dinner. | |
| That first Sunday out of prison, I was surrounded by the Graham family. | |
| If there was and is an example of godly family, Christ-loving family, it is the family that Ruth and Billy Graham raised. | |
| That heritage lives on in their children. | |
| Franklin, my dear, dear friend, Ann, Ruth, Gigi, and Nelson. | |
| At this very moment, my heart aches with pain, but it also leaps with joy that Billy is walking with and embracing our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. | |

Billy's Heavenly Home

| Some believed and have declared that the death of Billy Graham would signal the beginning of the last days. | |
| I don't know this to be fact, but I do know according to the scriptures, we are truly living in the final days before the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. | |
| Today, Billy Graham died at the age of 99, which is also appropriate as the number nine means fruitfulness. | |
| At an age of double fruitfulness, Billy enters heaven, leaving an abundance of legacy, of fruitfulness that no man has achieved before. | |
| Billy often said, my home is in heaven. | |
| I'm just traveling through this world. | |
| Billy is home. | |
