Christians world over have reacted to passing away “into eternal life in Heaven, prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ” of 99-year old Reverend Billy Graham.
TheNewsGuru reports Franklin Graham confirmed the death of his father, who was raised in the fundamentalist faith of his native North Carolina.
My father @BillyGraham was once asked, “Where is Heaven?” He said, “Heaven is where Jesus is and I am going to Him soon!” This morning, he departed this world into eternal life in Heaven, prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ—the Savior of the world—whom he proclaimed for 80 years.

Billy Graham has always been and will always be a hero in our home. Next to my own father, Reverend Graham was the most humble and gracious man I ever knew. I am honored to call him a friend and a mentor. Victoria and I will miss him dearly. pic.twitter.com/8kkj3kYRJo

From Jerusalem, I mourn the death of Billy Graham. From this earthly city of human brokenness, I can imagine more easily the New Jerusalem, where Our Lord has now welcomed his faithful son, #billygraham

For 99 years, Billy Graham's life was an example of dedication, trust, & faith in Christ. He led millions of people into a relationship with Jesus. His death reminds us our time here is limited & precious. His legacy reminds us that this world has only one hope – Jesus Christ! pic.twitter.com/jPLEXyyFOl

The passing of Dr Billy Graham marks the end of a great journey, which extremely few can match. He fought a great fight, and has finished strong and victorious. Glory to God.

Billy Graham was, in my view, the most important evangelist since the Apostle Paul. He preached Christ, not himself, not politics, not prosperity. When many saw evangelicals as just so many Emer Gantrys, he carried unimpeachable personal integrity.

What Billy Graham taught us is all summed up in the invitation hymn sing at his crusades across the nation: “Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me.”
