Franklin Graham, a renowned evangelical leader, made a powerful statement on the National Day of Prayer. He addressed the growing chaos and hatred prevalent in our society, particularly on college campuses.
“Jesus understood hatred,” he stated emphatically, reminding us that Jesus willingly sacrificed himself on the cross to free mankind from sin.

Graham articulated that God Himself is the only entity capable of truly transforming the human heart by placing faith and trust in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again.
He emphasized that the most critical need of our nation is a change of heart, achievable only through faith in Jesus.
“They nailed him to a tree, and He willingly gave His life and he died. He shed His blood and was buried for our sins. He understands hate,” Graham pointed out. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Graham continued by saying, “And the only one who can change the human heart is God, and that’s by putting our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, who came to save us from our sins by dying in our place on that cross, shedding his own blood, and on the third day, walking right out of that grave.”
He concluded with a powerful reminder that God will touch each heart individually.
In closing remarks, Graham prayed for those who have not yet found faith in Jesus and shared a scripture encouraging Christians to pray persistently.
