“Grace is made manifest in manifold ways. We see it in the love a mother has for her child, in the bread and the wine of the communion table, and from time to time in the faces of those who have been touched by it.

Michael Billings was one such young man. His eyes and his manner communicated the reality of his hidden heart: that he was a man who was both captured by conviction and shaped by grace. His ideological commitments were firm without being serrated. His communication was forthright, without being terse. But what drove him was not ideas about theology, but a love for His Lord.

Michael, having spent his last evening on this planet listening to my father teach on the gospel of our Lord, now beholds the glory of the very face of Jesus. Michael, because he was captured by that same good news, labored to make that face known in his all too brief, but faithful walk. We do not yet know what we will be, we have been promised, but we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
