BillyGraham.TV | Billy Graham - Are You Ready To Die? | October 28, 2025

(billy graham) the moment you read in the paper
00:00:11.397 --> 00:00:13.199
That billy graham is dead,
00:00:13.233 --> 00:00:14.734
You'll know that he's more alive than he's ever been before.
00:00:14.767 --> 00:00:18.004
And i'm in heaven.
00:00:18.037 --> 00:00:24.611
We've become spectators.
00:00:28.114 --> 00:00:31.451
We watch the events happening all around the world
00:00:31.484 --> 00:00:34.354
And it seems that it's going to happen to everybody else
00:00:34.387 --> 00:00:37.023
But it won't happen to you.
00:00:37.056 --> 00:00:45.698
(graham) most people think that about death.
00:00:49.636 --> 00:00:51.571
They say, "well, the other fella's gonna die,
00:00:51.604 --> 00:00:53.506
"but i'm not gonna die.
00:00:53.540 --> 00:00:55.175
"it's gonna happen to somebody else."
00:00:55.208 --> 00:00:58.344
We live as though we're going to live forever and we're not!
00:01:02.549 --> 00:01:06.219
You've been to a funeral...
00:01:09.589 --> 00:01:12.292
For a few moments you're solemn, you're thoughtful.
00:01:12.325 --> 00:01:15.595
That night, you go back, you go to bed,
00:01:15.628 --> 00:01:18.097
You think about it.
00:01:18.131 --> 00:01:20.333
You try to put it out of your mind.
00:01:20.366 --> 00:01:22.969
You don't want to think about it.
00:01:23.002 --> 00:01:25.471
And yet the bible says,
00:01:25.505 --> 00:01:27.173
"it's appointed unto man once to die."
00:01:27.207 --> 00:01:32.512
(newscaster) that is the hearse
00:01:32.545 --> 00:01:34.747
Carrying the body of reverend billy graham
00:01:34.781 --> 00:01:38.051
In that simple casket built by prisoners in louisiana.
00:01:38.084 --> 00:01:44.390
(man) it's just somethin' for that man to even
00:01:44.424 --> 00:01:47.360
Want me to build his casket.
00:01:47.393 --> 00:01:50.897
(graham preaching) one of these days
00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:52.999
They're going to be taking me out to the cemetery.
00:01:53.032 --> 00:01:56.269
They'll be saying some words over me.
00:01:56.302 --> 00:02:01.007
Is that the end?
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.375
Is it all over?
00:02:05.578 --> 00:02:09.649
Here is the question--
00:02:13.152 --> 00:02:15.154
If a man die, shall he live again?
00:02:15.188 --> 00:02:42.849
(newscaster) reverend billy graham,
00:02:46.619 --> 00:02:48.988
One of the most inspirational spiritual leaders
00:02:49.022 --> 00:02:51.391
Of the 20th century.
00:02:51.424 --> 00:02:53.059
(graham preaching) the bible says that every one of us are important to god.
00:02:53.092 --> 00:02:56.529
(larry king) he was a giant.
00:02:56.562 --> 00:02:57.897
You won't see his likes again.
00:02:57.930 --> 00:02:59.799
(graham preaching) i want us to look at the cross tonight.
00:02:59.832 --> 00:03:02.101
(man) he's met and talked and preached to kings, queens
00:03:02.135 --> 00:03:05.038
And heads of state around the globe.
00:03:05.071 --> 00:03:07.674
(graham) i'm just an ordinary messenger of the kingdom of god.
00:03:07.707 --> 00:03:11.577
Humble farmer's son who helped change the world
00:03:11.611 --> 00:03:14.480
Is a spiritual gift to all of us.
00:03:14.514 --> 00:03:20.353
(man) got that locked down.
00:03:24.023 --> 00:03:26.192
(woman) here you go.
00:03:26.225 --> 00:03:28.695
(man) are we ready?
00:03:28.728 --> 00:03:30.763
Yeah.
00:03:30.797 --> 00:03:34.000
You know, as i look back over my life,
00:03:34.033 --> 00:03:36.769
It's full of surprises.
00:03:36.803 --> 00:03:39.472
I never thought i would become friends with people
00:03:43.509 --> 00:03:46.279
In different countries all over the world.
00:03:46.312 --> 00:03:49.382
(graham preaching) "for god so loved the world
00:03:49.415 --> 00:03:51.050
"that he gave his only begotten son..."
00:03:51.084 --> 00:03:53.786
I want us to look at the cross tonight.
00:03:53.820 --> 00:03:55.855
(graham) i see how god's hand gathered me.
00:03:55.888 --> 00:03:59.158
(graham preaching) what a wonderful and glorious hope.
00:03:59.192 --> 00:04:01.594
Love one another!
00:04:01.627 --> 00:04:02.995
(graham) when i began preaching many years ago,
00:04:03.029 --> 00:04:04.997
It was not with any thoughts
00:04:05.031 --> 00:04:06.766
That i'd be preaching to large audiences.
00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:10.403
Come to the cross!
00:04:10.436 --> 00:04:12.171
His gospel is for everyone!
00:04:12.205 --> 00:04:14.240
(graham) god has done this.
00:04:14.273 --> 00:04:16.743
Christ is alive!
00:04:16.776 --> 00:04:18.111
In modern america today there is a vacuum of the soul.
00:04:18.144 --> 00:04:20.880
(graham) our country's in great need of a spiritual awakening.
00:04:20.913 --> 00:04:24.684
(graham preaching) come to the cross in repentance.
00:04:24.717 --> 00:04:26.652
(graham) there have been times that i've wept
00:04:26.686 --> 00:04:28.721
As i've gone from city to city and i've seen how far
00:04:28.755 --> 00:04:31.724
People have wandered from god.
00:04:31.758 --> 00:04:36.129
Of all the things that i've seen and heard,
00:04:36.162 --> 00:04:39.098
There's only one message
00:04:39.132 --> 00:04:40.700
That can change people's lives and hearts.
00:04:40.733 --> 00:04:44.871
There is a way,
00:04:44.904 --> 00:04:46.606
If you come by the way of the cross.
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.942
I want to tell people about the meaning of the cross.
00:04:49.976 --> 00:04:55.948
Not the cross that hangs on a wall,
00:04:55.982 --> 00:04:58.851
Or around someone's neck...
00:04:58.885 --> 00:05:01.287
(graham preaching) we receive our freedom
00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:03.856
Purchased by the ransom at the cross!
00:05:03.890 --> 00:05:06.292
(graham) ...but the real cross of christ.
00:05:06.325 --> 00:05:08.928
(graham preaching) the cross expresses
00:05:08.961 --> 00:05:11.364
The great love of god for man.
00:05:11.397 --> 00:05:12.799
(graham) it's scarred and blood-stained.
00:05:12.832 --> 00:05:14.667
His was a rugged cross.
00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:16.969
His real purpose for coming was to die.
00:05:17.003 --> 00:05:20.006
(graham) i know that many will react to this message,
00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:22.408
But it is the truth.
00:05:22.442 --> 00:05:24.610
And with all my heart, i want to leave you with the truth...
00:05:24.644 --> 00:05:28.614
(graham preaching) god says, "i love you.
00:05:28.648 --> 00:05:30.783
"i love you, i love you with an everlasting love!"
00:05:30.817 --> 00:05:33.453
...that he loves you,
00:05:33.486 --> 00:05:34.954
Willing to forgive you of all your sins.
00:05:34.987 --> 00:05:48.301
(graham) i look out across an audience when i stand up to preach,
00:05:52.605 --> 00:05:57.076
And i think of all the people with their different backgrounds
00:05:57.109 --> 00:06:01.581
And their various needs,
00:06:01.614 --> 00:06:04.684
And i know that they are objects
00:06:04.717 --> 00:06:07.086
Of god's mighty love.
00:06:07.119 --> 00:06:09.021
To the point that he gave his son, his only son,
00:06:12.258 --> 00:06:16.929
To die upon a cross,
00:06:16.963 --> 00:06:20.166
And the cross was the most terrible form of execution
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.470
By the romans for criminals.
00:06:24.504 --> 00:06:27.139
And jesus endured all that in our place
00:06:27.173 --> 00:06:31.344
Because of our sins.
00:06:31.377 --> 00:06:33.813
We deserve the cross,
00:06:33.846 --> 00:06:36.349
We deserve hell.
00:06:36.382 --> 00:06:38.951
We deserve judgment and all that that means.
00:06:38.985 --> 00:06:42.388
I know that there are many people that dispute that,
00:06:46.058 --> 00:06:48.761
People don't want to hear that they're sinners.
00:06:48.794 --> 00:06:51.297
To many people it's an offense.
00:06:51.330 --> 00:06:55.735
The cross is offensive
00:06:55.768 --> 00:06:57.470
Because it directly confronts
00:06:57.503 --> 00:07:01.941
The evils which dominate so much of this world.
00:07:01.974 --> 00:07:06.312
(graham preaching) you see, the bible teaches
00:07:10.249 --> 00:07:12.051
That all of us are wrong, we've all gone astray.
00:07:12.084 --> 00:07:15.721
We've every one turned to his own way.
00:07:15.755 --> 00:07:18.324
And when we turn to our own way we go astray from god's way,
00:07:18.357 --> 00:07:23.129
And that includes the whole human race.
00:07:23.162 --> 00:07:25.965
And that's why the world is in such terrible danger right now.
00:07:25.998 --> 00:07:32.271
It's not dangerous, so much, because we have atomic bombs;
00:07:32.305 --> 00:07:36.309
It's dangerous because of the human hearts
00:07:36.342 --> 00:07:38.611
Back of the bombs,
00:07:38.644 --> 00:07:40.346
Filled with envy and hate and strife and greed and lust,
00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:44.150
And all the other things that could pull the trigger.
00:07:44.183 --> 00:07:48.087
Now these things about the cross of christ
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.256
Being able to save people and find forgiveness of sin
00:07:50.289 --> 00:07:54.126
And find eternal life at the foot of the cross,
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.462
Sounds foolish to modern ears.
00:07:56.495 --> 00:08:00.933
The bible says, "but the natural man
00:08:00.967 --> 00:08:02.969
"receiveth not the things of the spirit of god,
00:08:03.002 --> 00:08:05.471
"for they're foolishness unto him.
00:08:05.504 --> 00:08:07.006
"neither can he know them
00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:08.274
"because they're spiritually discerned."
00:08:08.307 --> 00:08:12.478
You see, your mind was affected by sin.
00:08:12.511 --> 00:08:15.615
Our minds have been distorted.
00:08:15.648 --> 00:08:18.050
(thunder rumbles)
00:08:18.084 --> 00:08:20.319
(graham) all of us are sinners.
00:08:20.353 --> 00:08:23.222
We're turned our back on god
00:08:23.255 --> 00:08:25.257
And that's a very dangerous thing for us as individuals.
00:08:25.291 --> 00:08:29.795
Sin is a disease in the human heart.
00:08:29.829 --> 00:08:33.899
It affects the mind and the will and the emotions.
00:08:33.933 --> 00:08:37.703
Every part of our being is affected by this disease.
00:08:37.737 --> 00:08:43.776
How can we break this bondage?
00:08:43.809 --> 00:08:47.413
How can we be set free?
00:08:47.446 --> 00:08:50.716
(graham preaching) we're under condemnation!
00:08:50.750 --> 00:08:53.719
We're already condemned.
00:08:53.753 --> 00:08:55.821
We're on death's row.
00:08:55.855 --> 00:08:57.923
Right now, all of us.
00:08:57.957 --> 00:08:59.759
And god, through the cross, is saying to you,
00:08:59.792 --> 00:09:04.196
"i'll pardon you.
00:09:04.230 --> 00:09:06.132
"i'll give you a pardon.
00:09:06.165 --> 00:09:08.267
"i'll forget your sins.
00:09:08.300 --> 00:09:12.238
"i'll never hold you accountable for your sin again.
00:09:12.271 --> 00:09:15.207
"you can enter the kingdom of god
00:09:15.241 --> 00:09:17.677
"and have eternal life."
00:09:17.710 --> 00:09:21.313
But first we've got to settle the score with god,
00:09:21.347 --> 00:09:25.084
And that's what christ did on the cross.
00:09:25.117 --> 00:09:27.219
He made atonement, he reconciled us to god.
00:09:27.253 --> 00:09:33.926
(graham) on that cross, god was laying on jesus our sins.
00:09:33.959 --> 00:09:38.664
They not only put nails in his hands,
00:09:38.698 --> 00:09:41.734
But before that, they scourged him.
00:09:41.767 --> 00:09:44.937
A roman scourge was a terrible thing.
00:09:44.970 --> 00:09:49.208
They took whips, and pellets on those whips,
00:09:49.241 --> 00:09:52.978
And beat a person almost to death.
00:09:53.012 --> 00:09:56.182
And then they took that cross and made him carry the cross,
00:09:56.215 --> 00:10:03.355
Which was, in his weakened condition,
00:10:03.389 --> 00:10:06.158
Was almost impossible.
00:10:06.192 --> 00:10:11.197
But he carried that cross to a place outside of jerusalem.
00:10:15.301 --> 00:10:20.840
And then they put nails in his hands.
00:10:20.873 --> 00:10:24.210
But that was not the real suffering.
00:10:24.243 --> 00:10:27.012
The real suffering is when he said,
00:10:27.046 --> 00:10:28.814
"my god, why hast thou forsaken me?"
00:10:28.848 --> 00:10:31.851
In that terrible moment,
00:10:31.884 --> 00:10:33.886
He and god the father were separated.
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:41.193
(wood creaking)
00:10:41.227 --> 00:10:44.463
(cross thumps)
00:10:44.497 --> 00:10:48.634
He shed his blood.
00:10:48.667 --> 00:10:50.436
And the shedding of that blood
00:10:50.469 --> 00:10:51.971
Carries with it god's very life.
00:10:52.004 --> 00:10:57.343
(graham preaching) the blood is the meeting place between god and man.
00:10:57.376 --> 00:11:01.313
And the bible says, "without the shedding of blood,
00:11:01.347 --> 00:11:03.682
"there's no forgiveness."
00:11:03.716 --> 00:11:05.518
And that's what christ was doing on the cross.
00:11:05.551 --> 00:11:07.887
He was making atonement for our sins.
00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:12.224
He became sin-- think of it.
00:11:12.258 --> 00:11:14.026
Jesus christ,
00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:15.661
The greatest person that ever lived,
00:11:15.694 --> 00:11:17.396
The holiest person that ever lived,
00:11:17.429 --> 00:11:19.498
The son of the living god became sin.
00:11:19.532 --> 00:11:23.035
He had never known sin
00:11:23.068 --> 00:11:25.004
And he became guilty at that moment of adultery.
00:11:25.037 --> 00:11:28.174
He became guilty of lying, of idolatry.
00:11:28.207 --> 00:11:32.011
He became guilty of every ugly, dirty thing
00:11:32.044 --> 00:11:35.281
You can think of,
00:11:35.314 --> 00:11:36.649
Because it was your sins poured out on him.
00:11:36.682 --> 00:11:39.885
Jesus took it on the cross, and shed his blood for us.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:44.223
And he was shedding his blood.
00:11:44.256 --> 00:11:46.425
Now when you take the blood out
00:11:46.458 --> 00:11:48.027
That means you're giving your life.
00:11:48.060 --> 00:11:50.996
And that's what it means-- it means the life of christ.
00:11:51.030 --> 00:11:55.000
The cross and the resurrection of christ offers forgiveness
00:11:55.034 --> 00:11:58.704
Of sin, offers a whole new life, and offers you eternal life
00:11:58.737 --> 00:12:03.042
If you come to the cross by repentance and faith.
00:12:03.075 --> 00:12:11.350
(graham) there is no other way of salvation
00:12:15.287 --> 00:12:19.225
Except through the cross of christ.
00:12:19.258 --> 00:12:23.863
Jesus said, "i'm the way, the truth and the life.
00:12:23.896 --> 00:12:26.832
"no man cometh to the father but by me."
00:12:26.866 --> 00:12:30.703
The only way to the father, father god,
00:12:30.736 --> 00:12:34.073
Is through his son, jesus christ.
00:12:34.106 --> 00:12:38.310
Now why jesus?
00:12:38.344 --> 00:12:40.412
He's the only one that was born into this world without sin.
00:12:40.446 --> 00:12:46.518
But more than that, he was a righteous one.
00:12:46.552 --> 00:12:50.222
And when you come to him,
00:12:50.256 --> 00:12:52.157
You're clothed in his righteousness.
00:12:52.191 --> 00:12:55.127
God no longer sees your sin.
00:12:55.160 --> 00:12:57.930
He no longer sees your own heart.
00:12:57.963 --> 00:13:01.367
He sees jesus.
00:13:01.400 --> 00:13:07.006
(graham preaching) now i don't understand all about it.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.208
There are many things about the cross and about salvation
00:13:09.241 --> 00:13:11.577
That i do not understand,
00:13:11.610 --> 00:13:13.412
And i'm not told that i have to understand it all.
00:13:13.445 --> 00:13:16.115
I'm told that i'm to believe.
00:13:16.148 --> 00:13:17.983
And that word "believe" means commit.
00:13:18.017 --> 00:13:20.286
I commit my life totally to him.
00:13:20.319 --> 00:13:22.855
Jesus christ, from the cross,
00:13:26.292 --> 00:13:28.427
Says, "i will save you, i will forgive you.
00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:32.064
"i will change you.
00:13:32.097 --> 00:13:34.066
"i'll make you a new person
00:13:34.099 --> 00:13:35.601
"if you come to the cross by repentance and faith."
00:13:35.634 --> 00:13:40.706
Come to christ...
00:13:40.739 --> 00:13:42.207
(echoing) come to christ... come to christ...
00:13:42.241 --> 00:13:44.109
Come to christ...
00:13:44.143 --> 00:13:47.313
(graham) when you come to christ,
00:13:47.346 --> 00:13:48.914
You come by the way of repentance.
00:13:48.948 --> 00:13:50.950
"repent" means to change,
00:13:50.983 --> 00:13:54.486
To change your way of living
00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:56.889
And turn from your sins,
00:13:56.922 --> 00:13:59.525
And turn to jesus christ,
00:13:59.558 --> 00:14:04.396
And say, "i'm a sinner.
00:14:04.430 --> 00:14:05.564
"i need forgiveness.
00:14:05.597 --> 00:14:07.733
"and i know that you're the only one that can change me."
00:14:07.766 --> 00:14:15.674
A lot of people will say,
00:14:15.708 --> 00:14:16.909
"well, i don't really want a change in my life."
00:14:16.942 --> 00:14:20.346
The scripture teaches without that change
00:14:20.379 --> 00:14:23.515
As god demands, we'll never get to heaven.
00:14:23.549 --> 00:14:28.087
Like me, i was a member of a church,
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.323
But i hadn't really come to christ.
00:14:31.357 --> 00:14:34.760
From the very beginning,
00:14:34.793 --> 00:14:37.062
I was reared in a christian atmosphere.
00:14:37.096 --> 00:14:40.799
My father and mother both were christians.
00:14:40.833 --> 00:14:43.035
By the time i was a teenager,
00:14:43.068 --> 00:14:45.104
There came an evangelist to our town, mordecai ham.
00:14:45.137 --> 00:14:48.841
I remember i got under such conviction,
00:14:48.874 --> 00:14:52.311
And one night, they gave
00:14:52.344 --> 00:14:55.247
The invitation to receive christ and i reluctantly went.
00:14:55.280 --> 00:15:01.220
But i really meant business with the lord.
00:15:01.253 --> 00:15:05.424
I came just as i was,
00:15:08.927 --> 00:15:12.064
With all of my sins, all my failures,
00:15:12.097 --> 00:15:15.034
And the lord received me,
00:15:15.067 --> 00:15:17.136
And changed me.
00:15:17.169 --> 00:15:18.904
That has transformed me 'til this day.
00:15:18.937 --> 00:15:22.141
I've never been the same.
00:15:22.174 --> 00:15:35.654
I've found, during the latter years of my life,
00:15:39.625 --> 00:15:41.994
When i've had sicknesses
00:15:42.027 --> 00:15:44.263
And been in the hospital and so forth,
00:15:44.296 --> 00:15:46.665
There's a peace that just resides there,
00:15:46.698 --> 00:15:49.601
And stays there, that i cannot explain.
00:15:49.635 --> 00:15:55.207
Everybody could have that same peace
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.543
If they received christ as their savior.
00:15:57.576 --> 00:16:03.682
I know i'm going to heaven.
00:16:03.715 --> 00:16:07.252
I'm looking forward to it with great anticipation
00:16:07.286 --> 00:16:10.989
Because of what jesus did on that cross.
00:16:11.023 --> 00:16:15.027
He died for us, but he was raised by god.
00:16:15.060 --> 00:16:21.967
(graham preaching) if christ is alive,
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.137
There is hope in the world.
00:16:25.170 --> 00:16:27.206
Yes, jesus christ is alive.
00:16:27.239 --> 00:16:31.043
He rose from the dead, and that day,
00:16:31.076 --> 00:16:33.245
That easter sunday morning, that first easter,
00:16:33.278 --> 00:16:35.647
When mary and mary magdalene and salome went to the grave,
00:16:35.681 --> 00:16:40.018
Expecting to anoint a dead body,
00:16:40.052 --> 00:16:42.354
They saw the angel sitting there,
00:16:42.387 --> 00:16:46.191
And they said, "where is jesus?"
00:16:46.225 --> 00:16:48.660
The angel said, "he is not here, he is risen!"
00:16:48.694 --> 00:16:52.331
I submit to you tonight that that's the greatest news
00:16:52.364 --> 00:16:54.933
The world has ever heard!
00:16:54.967 --> 00:16:57.669
He is not here!
00:16:57.703 --> 00:16:59.872
He has conquered the grave!
00:16:59.905 --> 00:17:02.274
He's alive!
00:17:02.307 --> 00:17:04.943
And the whole early church went up and down the country
00:17:04.977 --> 00:17:08.981
Preaching the resurrection of jesus christ.
00:17:09.014 --> 00:17:13.585
(graham) and you'll notice that when the disciples went out
00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:17.656
After the cross and the resurrection,
00:17:17.689 --> 00:17:20.459
It says they went out preaching that jesus was alive.
00:17:20.492 --> 00:17:26.565
And that because he lives,
00:17:26.598 --> 00:17:28.800
We, too, are going to live someday
00:17:28.834 --> 00:17:31.069
In that same resurrection glory.
00:17:31.103 --> 00:17:35.407
And because of the hope we have in jesus
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.410
We can all be in heaven someday forever.
00:17:38.443 --> 00:17:43.248
But first there must be a decision here and now
00:17:43.282 --> 00:17:48.353
In this life.
00:17:48.387 --> 00:17:51.557
Today, i'm asking you to put your trust in christ.
00:17:51.590 --> 00:17:59.398
I'm going to ask you to pray this prayer,
00:17:59.431 --> 00:18:02.334
Sentence by sentence, after me.
00:18:02.367 --> 00:18:07.673
Dear heavenly father,
00:18:07.706 --> 00:18:10.909
I know that i'm a sinner.
00:18:10.943 --> 00:18:14.880
And i ask for your forgiveness.
00:18:14.913 --> 00:18:18.083
I believe you've died for my sins,
00:18:18.116 --> 00:18:21.220
And rose from the dead.
00:18:21.253 --> 00:18:25.023
I turn from my sins.
00:18:25.057 --> 00:18:28.060
I repent of my sins.
00:18:28.093 --> 00:18:31.330
I invite you to come into my heart and life.
00:18:31.363 --> 00:18:35.367
I want to trust and follow you
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:39.738
As my lord and savior.
00:18:39.771 --> 00:18:42.841
In jesus' name...
00:18:42.874 --> 00:18:44.876
Amen.
00:18:44.910 --> 00:18:46.845
(graham preaching) he's alive!
00:18:50.515 --> 00:18:52.451
I've given my life, not to a dead christ,
00:18:52.484 --> 00:18:55.487
But to a living christ!
00:18:55.520 --> 00:18:57.389
I know where i've come from!
00:18:57.422 --> 00:18:59.658
I know why i'm here!
00:18:59.691 --> 00:19:01.126
I know where i'm going.

(graham lynch) hi, i'm cissie graham lynch.
00:24:50.742 --> 00:24:53.111
Step into the extraordinary story
00:24:53.144 --> 00:24:55.146
Of my grandfather, billy graham,
00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:57.082
And experience firsthand
00:24:57.115 --> 00:24:59.017
The life-changing power of his message.
00:24:59.050 --> 00:25:02.087
(graham preaching) "for god so loved the world
00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:04.389
"that he gave his only begotten son,
00:25:04.422 --> 00:25:07.192
"that whosoever
00:25:07.225 --> 00:25:08.360
"believeth in him should not..."
00:25:08.393 --> 00:25:09.894
In spite of our sin, god said, "i love you."
00:25:09.928 --> 00:25:13.365
(graham lynch) this journey offers inspiration and excitement
00:25:13.398 --> 00:25:15.467
For everyone in your family, even the kids.
00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:18.203
I'm only a messenger to proclaim...
00:25:21.373 --> 00:25:23.074
(graham lynch) as our guest, you'll see how god worked through
00:25:23.108 --> 00:25:25.644
A humble farm boy to share his message of love
00:25:25.677 --> 00:25:28.413
To people around the world.
00:25:28.446 --> 00:25:31.449
(graham preaching) there's hope, there's joy,
00:25:31.483 --> 00:25:33.051
There's purpose, there's meaning.
00:25:33.084 --> 00:25:35.887
(graham lynch) state-of-the-art technology brings you a glimpse
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:38.023
Of the people he met and the places he reached
00:25:38.056 --> 00:25:41.593
With the good news of jesus christ.
00:25:41.626 --> 00:25:45.463
Browse through christ-centered gifts
00:25:45.497 --> 00:25:47.766
In ruth's attic bookstore.
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:49.534
And enjoy a meal or a specialty coffee
00:25:49.567 --> 00:25:52.404
At the graham brothers dairy bar.
00:25:52.437 --> 00:25:56.274
You can tour the graham family home place.
00:25:56.307 --> 00:25:58.109
And then spend time reflecting
00:25:58.143 --> 00:26:00.345
In the memorial prayer garden
00:26:00.378 --> 00:26:01.880
Where my grandparents, billy and ruth graham,
00:26:01.913 --> 00:26:04.015
Are laid to rest.
00:26:04.049 --> 00:26:05.684
(graham) i was in love, not only in love...
00:26:05.717 --> 00:26:08.553
(graham lynch) admission is free.
00:26:08.586 --> 00:26:09.921
Come, and be refreshed by one man's remarkable journey
00:26:09.954 --> 00:26:13.191
Of faith, and see what god may have in store for you
00:26:13.224 --> 00:26:16.227
At the billy graham library.
00:26:16.261 --> 00:26:25.670
(voice-over) we all know we're going to die eventually.
00:26:29.841 --> 00:26:33.945
But what happens after we die?
00:26:33.978 --> 00:26:37.682
Maybe at death you simply cease to exist.
00:26:37.716 --> 00:26:40.452
Your body turns to dust, and well, that's it.
00:26:40.485 --> 00:26:43.688
Game over.
00:26:43.722 --> 00:26:46.057
Or maybe something does happen after you die.
00:26:46.091 --> 00:26:49.194
What if life somehow continues?
00:26:49.227 --> 00:26:51.830
Maybe you're reborn, as someone or something else.
00:26:51.863 --> 00:26:54.566
Then you die, then you're reborn,
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:56.067
Then you die and so on
00:26:56.101 --> 00:26:57.736
Until you're finally enlightened
00:26:57.769 --> 00:26:59.404
And become one with the universe.
00:26:59.437 --> 00:27:02.774
Or perhaps you become a shadowy ghost
00:27:02.807 --> 00:27:05.610
Wandering in the underworld.
00:27:05.643 --> 00:27:08.680
Or maybe you're judged on how good you've been.
00:27:08.713 --> 00:27:11.349
If you've done more good than bad,
00:27:11.382 --> 00:27:13.151
You win!
00:27:13.184 --> 00:27:15.220
Here's the problem:
00:27:15.253 --> 00:27:16.821
If you're alive there's no way to know
00:27:16.855 --> 00:27:18.757
What it's like after death.
00:27:18.790 --> 00:27:20.325
Unless someone dies and comes back to life
00:27:20.358 --> 00:27:23.895
And tells us about it.
00:27:23.928 --> 00:27:26.064
According to his followers,
00:27:26.097 --> 00:27:27.599
That's precisely what jesus did.
00:27:27.632 --> 00:27:29.667
If this claim is true,
00:27:29.701 --> 00:27:31.836
Then he can provide us
00:27:31.870 --> 00:27:33.104
With a clear picture
00:27:33.138 --> 00:27:34.272
Of what lies ahead.
00:27:34.305 --> 00:27:35.640
Jesus told us there is a heaven,
00:27:35.673 --> 00:27:37.475
But also a hell.
00:27:37.509 --> 00:27:42.247
Your response matters because your view of the next life
00:27:42.280 --> 00:27:44.883
Affects how you live this life
00:27:44.916 --> 00:27:46.618
And whether you'll be prepared for what lies ahead.
00:27:46.651 --> 00:27:50.021
None of us knows when it will be our turn.
00:27:50.054 --> 00:27:54.192
But notice, each of these after-death scenarios
00:27:54.225 --> 00:27:56.961
Contradicts the others.
00:27:56.995 --> 00:27:59.297
If one is correct,
00:27:59.330 --> 00:28:00.398
The others aren't.
00:28:00.431 --> 00:28:01.666
One option is unique.
00:28:05.170 --> 00:28:07.138
Jesus christ is the only person
00:28:07.172 --> 00:28:09.174
Who actually conquered death.
00:28:09.207 --> 00:28:11.876
And christ offers his life to you,
00:28:11.910 --> 00:28:14.045
Giving you a new life that can begin now
00:28:14.078 --> 00:28:16.648
And continue after death
00:28:16.681 --> 00:28:18.416
In heaven.
00:28:18.449 --> 00:28:19.651
A life that doesn't depend on your goodness but on his.
00:28:19.684 --> 00:28:23.655
Are you ready for death?
00:28:23.688 --> 00:28:25.290
You can be.
00:28:25.323 --> 00:28:26.958
