In a relay race, team members pass on a baton as they finish running their stage of the race. On February 21, 2018, Billy Graham finished running the race, as he was welcomed at the finish line into the arms of Jesus. Many have asked over the years, what’s going to happen when Billy Graham is gone? Who will take his place? The children and grandchildren of Billy are running the course and following in his steps. But the baton is not for Billy’s family only. The baton is for every believer who has accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. We all have a responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus; just the simple message of the love of God who sent His only son to die for the sins of the world.
Will there ever be another Billy Graham? No, Billy was one of a kind. But there’s a YOU! And you can be faithful to share the good news to lost souls who without Jesus will spend eternity without Him. Every one of us is called to share the gospel. Don’t drop the baton.
