MY ANSWER

Why did the crowds turn against Jesus during the last few days of His life?
Billy Graham writes, "One reason was disappointment; many expected Jesus would declare Himself to be their king, and would lead a revolt against the Romans who were occupying the Jewish nation."

MY ANSWER

What makes Jesus different from any other religious leader who has ever lived?
Billy Graham writes, "Only Jesus died and then came back to life by the power of God, never to die again."

MY ANSWER

I've never understood why people refer to the day that Jesus died as "Good Friday."
Billy Graham writes, "They do so because of what He accomplished for us on that day. The key is to understand who Jesus was, and why He came into the world."

MY ANSWER

A friend of mine says that Jesus didn't really die on the cross, but He was just drugged. Is it possible he's right?
Billy Graham writes, "No, your friend is not right—and this isn't just because Christians believe otherwise, but because what he's suggesting isn't logical."

MY ANSWER

Our teenager tells us we're out of touch because no one his age pays attention to Jesus.
Billy Graham writes, "He may be right when he says most people his age are influenced more by the latest pop star than by Jesus—but of course that isn't the whole story."

MY ANSWER

Which do you think was worse for Jesus, His physical suffering or His emotional and mental suffering?
Billy Graham writes, "Don't ever take lightly what it cost Jesus Christ to purchase your salvation. His physical and emotional sufferings were only indications of a far deeper suffering—the suffering of His soul for you and me."

MY ANSWER

I come from another country, and I am working here for the next three years. Please, sir, would you tell me who Jesus is, and what a Christian is?
Billy Graham writes, "A Christian, very simply, is a person who has decided to be a follower of Jesus Christ. What sets Jesus apart from every other religious leader or philosopher? Simply this: The Bible says He was God in human flesh—completely man, but also completely God."

MY ANSWER

Every time I start to commit myself to Jesus, I begin thinking of all the questions I have and whether I'm strong enough to be a Christian, and I end up not doing anything.
Billy Graham writes, "Did it ever occur to you that this is exactly the way the devil wants you to act? He doesn't want you to give your life to Jesus and will do everything he can to keep you from it."

MY ANSWER

What did Jesus mean when He said that the days just before He comes again would be like the time of Noah? Does this mean God is going to send another flood?
Billy Graham writes, "You are referring to what Jesus told His disciples about His second coming, shortly before His death. He explained that He wasn't talking about another great flood like Noah's, but on people's attitude just before it came."

MY ANSWER

Don't you think the world would be better off if we learned to follow the teachings of Jesus? Do you think that could ever happen?
Billy Graham writes, "Yes, we certainly would be better off if we followed Jesus' teachings and learned to treat each other the way we should."

MY ANSWER

I read a book that claims the real truth about Jesus was suppressed by the church. Is there any truth to it?
Billy Graham writes, "You can be absolutely confident that what was written in the Bible about Jesus is accurate, and its accuracy has been confirmed by scholars (both Christian and non-Christian) repeatedly over the centuries."

MY ANSWER

If Jesus willingly came into the world to die for our sins, then why did He ask God to open up some other way?
Billy Graham writes, "You and I can barely understand the horror and suffering Jesus faced as He went to the cross. Not only would He endure terrible physical suffering (for crucifixion was an agonizing way to die), but ahead of Him was the terror of Hell itself."

MY ANSWER

I know God forgave me when I asked Jesus to come into my life, but if I commit a sin in the future, does this mean I'm no longer saved?
Billy Graham writes, "The Bible is clear: Once we truly give our lives to Jesus Christ and trust Him alone for our salvation, God cleanses us from all our sins and makes us members of His family forever."

MY ANSWER

Lots of great religious leaders have been very spiritual and saintly (almost otherworldly, you could say), but what was so different about Jesus?
Billy Graham writes, "The Bible says one thing set Jesus apart from every other person who has ever lived: He was both fully God and fully man. The Bible says, 'For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form' (Colossians 2:9)."

MY ANSWER

How could Jesus have been God (as you Christians claim) and yet still have died? How could God die?
Billy Graham writes, "When Jesus' body died on the cross, He didn't cease to exist—any more than we do when our bodies die. His soul or spirit kept on living—just as ours will when we die."

MY ANSWER

You answered a question about the possibility of Satan ending up in Heaven, and you said he wouldn't. Doesn't the Bible say that the devil believes in Jesus?
Billy Graham writes, "You are probably thinking of what the Bible says in James 2:19: 'You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.'"

MY ANSWER

I'd really like to believe in God, but I just can't quite make it across the line. Can I overcome my doubts?
Billy Graham writes, "Have you ever asked yourself why you have a hard time believing in God? One reason, I suspect, is because you are trying to talk yourself into believing in Him—and yet you don't have any reason for believing He exists."

MY ANSWER

A Christian friend keeps urging me to ask Jesus into my heart, but if I did, how would I know He was really there? Would I feel different or something?
Billy Graham writes, "Yes, you might feel different if you invited Christ into your life—but the real reason you would know He had come to live within you is because He has promised to do so."

MY ANSWER

Why doesn't the Bible tell us anything about Jesus' early life? I read once that Jesus supposedly spent His early years in Tibet or someplace like that.
Billy Graham writes, "Such fanciful ideas have absolutely no basis in fact. They come only from someone's imagination, and you shouldn't put any belief in them, for they simply aren't true."

MY ANSWER

I don't see what right we have to impose our religion on others. After all, they have their own religions, don't they?
Billy Graham writes, "If you could talk with the missionaries your church supports, I suspect you'd come away with a different view."
