at that terrible moment, he and god, the father, were separated. he shed his blood and the shedding of the blood carries with it god s very life. the blood is the meeting place between god and man. and the bible says without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. that s what christ was doing on the cross. he was making atonement for our sins. he was shedding his blood. when you take the blood out, that means you are giving your life. that s what it means. it means the life of christ. the cross and the resurrection of christ offers forgiveness of sin, offers a whole new life, and offers you eternal life if

billy graham, 95 years, up in years, have we lost a little more when you were politically active is, there a generation have you hope in? . i am hopeful, always hopeful. but i find people are worried today i had a woman tell me very not been involved in politics or public policy but people are frightened about what s happening in the country. and we need a message of hope. there seems to be that if you look at world war ii, a lot of people were worried about americans in carter years, right man, right place and time. seems leaders come, so we re expecting a new emerging leadership, are
yeah. who sponsored half time. do you remember. i do. mia. an american. yeah. who response soared. clint eastwood. nobody remembers that, bridgestone. and i remember the and also my brother graham, eight or nine years ago and still doing well out there. so, congratulations to bro. all right. one more thing, our one more thing, when i return.
