 Where cruelty to animals, to the poor, and rampant injustice was common, Wilberforce left behind a legacy of freedom, justice, and second chances. He was so liberal with his fortune that he died a pauper, having given away everything he had. And yet, he was rich in the grace and power of God. Wilberforce was just one man, but he had Christ's heart for the lost, the needy, the broken, and the enslaved. And because of that heart, he changed the world.
