As Billy Graham's life ends, we still wait for the new beginning, that grand and glorious day when those in Christ will be resurrected from the dead and raptured to new life as we see our Savior and Lord on the day of the Feast of Trumpets.

I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, 15-16, 17-18).

Billy Graham was laid to rest on Friday, March 2, in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. Born the son of a dairy farmer, Mr. Graham dedicated his life to serving God and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with millions worldwide through many platforms, including his Crusades.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (2 Timothy 4:7-8).
