The man who made Billy Grahams casket died of pancreatic cancer at Angola prison where they have turned the prison into a hospice facility. His job was to make caskets for the inmates that died.He made his own casket shortly after he was diagnosed. 😞
I did not know that a prisoner made Billy Graham's casket. Great love, humility and forgiveness from the beginning to the end. Really reflecting Jesus Christ. Gospel of the Cross of Christ all the way through.
He lived like a millionaire king and played it off in the end to the fools. I'd take the million dollar life and let a pauper build me a great coffin in the end, where do I sign?
@@themedic4050 The jealously is showing. He worked harder than most to provide a nice home for his wife and children. His father worked hard and long hours, on a dairy farm, to provide a nice home for his wife and children. These men cherished their wife and children. What's wrong with that? Not all men have that kind of good character. Who are we to question who God blesses materially? The jealousy is showing!...
Made me cry the prisoners Billy the casket hard to comprehend how we can have a deepseeded true love for BG a man we don't even know person person. That has to be God
This is HOW A man of the cloth should be interned . I think it is a BEAUTIFUL Casket and it was made with Love . Not by someone just pumping them out for the Great Mighty Dollar . God Bless you Brother Billy . God Be with you Till We Meat Again.
what a HUMBLE choice of casket to have designed. so befitting of his life. Many would have wanted Bronze or something else fancy. He chose his burial casket as a symbol of the life he lived. Hi very life preached to all of us, all the way to the end! A true man of God, and we honor you.
Prophetess Buchanan Yes, such a great preacher and yet so humble, not asking for expensive materials for a casket, I really agree with you Prophetess Buchanan.
RIP Dr G I had the pleasure of hearing you preach many years ago. Your comments then as now will live on forever. Thank You sir and I say Thanks to GOD for having had you on this earth to help so many. Pax+
I was watching Rev Graham being honored by his lying in state at the Capital. I was struck by the beauty and simplicity of the casket. Thank you for sharing this with us. I grew up watching the crusades on TV. Rev Graham touched me every time and I miss hearing his voice but am looking forward to seeing him in heaven.🙏🏻✝️
Peggy Radeck I did think that was a really nice coffin. I'd want one like that. It occurred to me that it was nicer than Michael Jackson's and nicer than my mother's too.
We are all equal in God's eyes!!! This is one of my favorite quotes from brother Billy; *It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love* Billy Graham
@Leo Peridot The richest you talk about Jesus was talking to a rich man he said what must I do to inherit the Kingdom of God. Jesus head sell all your possessions and give it to the poor. You went away very sad hes not saying That christians muscle all their stuff and give it to the poor. What Jesus is saying anything that's more important him that's an idol we need to get rid of it like money houses cars girlfriend boyfriend children anything that a person May love More than God They are not worthy of God. After that men left he said it's easier for a camel go through eye of needle . And you're probly talking about the preachers on TV making millions they are not the man a God They are not Christian It's what we call appearance of ever Christian I call them fake question you're not even a Christian. So these churches are getting rich But you forget to look at closer Show me these churches are not Christian they are cults Like mormon Joe was witness muslims And so on Christianity is not a religion It's not about them mighty book its faith on God Repent accept Jesus as savior. Religion is man made works is man made despain in the church doesn't mean your Christian Being a member of a church doesn't make a Christian All that is works we cannot work on way to heaven it's by grace not works. As the biggest problem with the cults . Jesus Christ never set up a church catholics claimed Jesus did but he never did the Catholic Church was started 325AD . Even the apostle's do not start a church They preached They were killed for sharing a truth why on Earth were they risk their lives for Jesus Christ if it wasn't true they had a testimony of Jesus Christ if we could a done it ourself Being a good person Jesus Christ will not come and die for the whole world.
You were example to us in everything - life, your death and even in this casket. You are blessed Bro. Billy Graham. We will miss you a lot a lot a lot.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank-you once again Reverend Billy Graham, for a powerful message on forgiveness and humility. On the true meaning of living a life in Christ Jesus✝
Now that is a beautifully made Casket. And, just like the Graham family to include people who need forgiveness like everyone does. But, in a unique position being a prisoner. Really a humble perspective and loving one as well.
I just happened to read About the person that Make Dr Graham and His Loving wife's Ruth Both caskets . I was very touch by their Love and...... Humility of them . Praise God 🙏 blessed. He, to love sinners Like me !!!!
So touching and ever so beautiful. Yes we must always forgive others. Cause Christ forgave us. He paid it all on the cross for us. I would love to have be buried in one of there caskets. What beautiful talent they have.
The focus is not on prison or captivity but freedom and forgiveness in Christ - which is what Billy Graham preached for 6 decades. Clearly he followed his own teachings.
Me Too! It's not that far away from Christ will return we don't know day or hr but we and know by jesus Christ Prophecies and know it's close. All the wickedness is just like Sodom and Gomorrah God said when that happens the son of man will come.
WOW!!!! I think Billy Graham's death has revived me more than any revival I ever attended! What a beautiful way to give someone in prison with a marvelous talent such an honorable job!!
Jorge Fierro - the Bible says in John 3:16: for God so loved THE WORLD... Jesus did not die just for Jews! He LOVED us all, and sent His son to hang on the Cross for the sins of EVERY MAN....Not just Jews.
Jorge Fierro Keep the tinfoil hat on Jorge...everything’s a conspiracy. Watch the movie “The Case for Christ” unless your faith is so fragile as to not be able to withstand it. We still love you and will pray for you.
Jorge Fierro - and the love of God constrained you to call me a SILLY WOMAN? No it didn't. (When we are supposed to show GODS LOVE to all people...) Keeping you uplifted in prayer sir. That's my final comment on the matter.
Bless you all. Really like this man. He was just normal and not at all like some of the TV evangelists who got all weird when I was growing up. The video reminds me of something I've been trying to decide for a while now though and it is this idea of burial. "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust" keeps standing out in my head. I have no desire to be stuck in a coffin. Please get me back to the Earth just as soon as it can happen when I pass and cremate me. I cannot imagine being stuck there like that and it just does not seem to be a normal phase of life. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." -- that, I like.
@Leo Peridot Not all christians do that. The Christian said done that are the fake christians you have not met the real ones. It's like saying every way person is a murder when one person. Same thing with christians. There are fake Christians say are there are christians but you're really not.
@Leo Peridot But some people in the world misjudge someone goes to prison they murdered someone but they're not a Christian. But they become a Christian when they're in prison God forgives What someone truly repents. It's 1 time God does not forgive Someone that's not a Christian add for God's forgiveness guide us and forgive that person because hes not a Christian he had to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior repent of all your sins and accept Jesus Christ as savior. Because the ones that never went to church never read The Bible your argument is I never kill anyone I'm good to my neighbors that may be true but they have seen guys gonna judge even the personal since summer breaks even one law Bible says if you broke One law you broken them all. It says Wide is the gate lead to hell many are there . Narrow is the way that leads to Eternal life Only a few that find it.
@Leo Peridot The ones that use say that are hypocrites they are not christians they're the fake christians. even talk about that When he was on Earth. There was a ligious leaders and his day and he said to them It's like you have a cup it's clean on the outside biggest dirty on the inside. He also said you have AA tomb you whitewash it it's very beautiful not outside but inside is dead man's bones D with legislators were angry. That was one of the reasons they had Jesus Christ crucified he always challenge Them because they were hypocrites .
Oh... please give as generously as possible to Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse. They are a global outreach to ALL in need, the poor, the sick, the storm victims, war torn innocents. A truly blessed ministry.
From my family to yours..our deepest condolence and prayers for you all. Our Father passed this past November and we totally understand what you're feeling and also embrace that Reverand Graham as well as our Father are with the Lord. God bless you.
Aunty Beloved41>>> ***Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.*** ***Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of ones birth.*** If we truly think about this Scripture from our LORD in reference to it being "better than precious ointment" to have "a good name"...THEN it is truly better to leave this world to be with the LORD than it is to be a newborn babe who has a lifetime of this wicked world to endure before returning back to our LORD. I pray that i'm making sense with these words as in we seem to do these things a bit backwards because we celebrate a new baby being born; Yet, we mourn our loved ones whom we lose and we miss them so much without remembering where it is that they have gone Home to. To be born; new life is truly a Blessing from GOD...Still, we do seem to miss the point of what this verse tells us. i'm in much HOPE that this comment does not come out in the wrong way for you dear Aunty Beloved41....OH, Please I pray that you do know that I truly understand that we miss our loved ones ever so much that it does hurt so bad to not see them in the flesh: At least it will be a while until we all do see one another again: God Bless you and your Family during these times, in Jesus name. ***2 Corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: ((7)) (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) ((8)) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.***
His public gaffes notwithstanding, of all the past or current televangelists, I believed that Rev. Graham was the most sincere & humble. The choice of a casket handmade by prisoners just reinforces that idea. Pax vobiscum, good & faithful servant.
This message and his messages are so very needed today. It's a shame that there isn't another Billy Graham that could save this world from evil. I guess it would actually be Jesus ! Have faith in Christ. Honor Billy Graham and the word of God.
For God to have called back such a good and faithful servant as preacher Graham, it can't be too long before Jesus comes back. Christians be ready, and win as many souls to Christ as you can. The time is right, the harvest is now.
I know without a doubt Mr Billy Graham is walking with Christ and God the father in glory He preached the gospel of Christ crucified and nothing different rest peacefully Pastor Graham!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
WOW! Who said that Billy Graham was this rich guy who got wealth from preaching the Gospel (he did get true wealth, the type that never dies, and anybody can have that through Jesus Christ), but the man demonstrated probably more humility than anyone I have ever met.
What an honor. May God our Heavenly Father anoint all the men that put their hands together to built the man of God casket. So that they will receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
