In every Billy Graham crusade when the invitation for people to come to Christ is given the choir sings, “Just as I am without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me.” I love those words, “without one plea.” That means that I have nothing to plead of my own. I cannot brag of a single good thing about myself, including boasting of my faith. Instead, I simply come asking for God’s mercy.
Katika kila mkutano wa hadhara wa Billy Graham, wakati mwaliko wa kuja kwa Kristo unapo fanywa kwaya inaimba, “Jinsi nilivyo bila ombi, ila damu yako ilimwagika kwangu,” Nina penda maneno hayo, “bila ombi.” Hii inamaanisha sina lolote la kujiombea mimi mwenyewe. Siwezi nika jisifia chochote kizuri mimi, hata kujisifu kwa imani yangu.Badili yake, nina kuja niki omba rehema za Mungu.
