“More than 10,000 people gathered in Manchester to worship and hear a gospel message preached by Franklin Graham. The evangelist said in a post on X that “hundreds responded to the invitation to repent and receive Jesus Christ by faith” at the Co-Op Live on Saturday. Christians from across the northwest and further afield came with their churches, friends and neighbours to the God Loves You Tour, organised by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Graham told those in attendance that lasting hope and purpose can only be found in a personal relationship with Jesus, urging them to consider whether they had put their faith in Christ. He asked: “Are you ready to stand before God? Are you ready to give an account to Him? The Bible says it’s appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Note this verse refers to Jesus second coming to save those eagerly waiting for Him. Are you eagerly waiting for Him? You should be as the many Biblical end times prophecies are manifesting in our day.
“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”
The evangelist drew upon the Genesis account of Lot leaving Sodom, suggesting that some in the audience may feel the same way about being surrounded by sin and misery. But Graham said that “God is offering you forgiveness. He’s offering you cleansing. He’s offering you a new life, a new beginning through faith in his Son, Jesus Christ. But you’ve got to choose.”
He ended with a call for those who had not previously put their trust in the Lord to come forward and do so. I am disappointed that He made no reference to Jesus second coming and that time is short to get on with the job God has called each one of us to do: to save the lost.
Next on God’s agenda for planet Earth is Jesus Millennial Kingdom. Are you ready to serve our Lord for the next thousand years on this Earth. It is not the new Earth where only the righteous dwell. Even though Satan is bound for most of the time, he is released by God at the end of the thousand years and is still able to raise an enormous army, like the sand of the sea to come against Jesus and the Saints.
“And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,“ Revelation 20:9
