Billy Graham Sermon: The Death and Resurrection of Christ

As Easter approaches, we’re invited to pause and reflect on the cross—the symbol of Christ’s love and ultimate sacrifice for us.

In 1970, on a rain-soaked night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Billy Graham spoke on history’s darkest day—the day Jesus died on the cross. In this powerful message, he reminds us why Jesus’ death and resurrection changed the course of history, and why it still matters today.

“The only way you can ever get to Heaven is by the way of the cross. And if Jesus Christ had never gone to the cross, you could never have sin forgiven. You could have never gone to Heaven and the problems of earth would never have a solution.” —Billy Graham
