Rev. Billy Graham at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. stated: “Throughout history tyrants and megalomaniacs have claimed to be divine — but only Jesus Christ truly was God, coming from Heaven and then returning to Heaven,” wrote Graham .”He proved it not only by His miraculous deeds but by His resurrection from the dead. Jesus rightly declared, ‘I and the Father are one’ (John 10:30).” Graham also responded that Jesus’ death “wasn’t that of a martyr,” but rather “His death was that of a Savior!” “He came into the world for one reason: to become the final and complete sacrifice for sin. We are separated from God, and we deserve only His judgment. But on the cross Christ took upon Himself our sins and our judgment,” “And this means He took upon Himself your sins and your judgment! Have you responded to what He has done for you by putting your faith and trust in Him for your salvation?” The 98-year-old preacher stated. “But Jesus wasn’t just another religious leader or philosopher — and the reason, the Bible says, is because He was God in human form,” wrote Graham. “In other words, when Jesus was born, God Himself was taking on human flesh and becoming a man. Think of it: when Jesus walked on this Earth, God Himself was living among us!”
