During a New York crusade in 1957, Billy Graham said, “The Bible says, you can have pleasure temporarily. You can have pleasure in sin for a season, for a short time; but true happiness and true peace are found when the soul comes back to the Maker.”
Paul after wearies of travel finally comes to Rome. He is allowed to dwell by himself with a soldier guarding him. During this time, he meets with the Jews residing in Rome. What does he do? “So when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening.” Acts 28:23
Paul basically says, “The Bible says…” Billy Graham was known for being the “Bible says man” because he would point to the Bible for all life’s questions. But it doesn’t take an arena to point people to Jesus and His Word. We can do the same in our neighborhood, local coffee shop or restaurant, gym, workplace or even while grocery shopping. Pray, and be ready each day to share what the Bible says about eternal life and a relationship with Jesus.
