Billy Graham Steps on an Anthill
Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on December 30, 2008
Last week I linked to the original Billy Graham Christmas Special from 1952. A young, charismatic Billy Graham stood in front of a fireplace and a Christmas tree, waving his finger and reading from the Bible. But he made one interesting analogy about ants that stuck out.
Skip ahead to 9:56 of the video to see it:
“You know one day I was walking along and I stepped on an anthill. And I thought to myself as I saw those dying ants, I wish I could go down and be just an ant for just a moment to talk to those ants and tell them that I didn’t mean to. That’s the way it was with God. God looked down over the battlements of heaven and God said, ‘How can I tell men that I’m a God of love, I’m a God of mercy, that I’m a God of long suffering, the only way I can do it is to become a man.’ And that’s exactly what happened, ladies and gentlemen: Jesus Christ became man.”
