The other night I had the privilege of watching a man truly in love with his Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. His name was Bill Bright, and through his vision to start the internation organization known today as Campus Crusade for Christ, many millions have come to know this same saving relationship with Jesus Christ today. As we began the video, our moderator prefaced it by telling us that we wouldn't be privy to anything necessarily groundbreaking, though the points he listed for Christian leadership were indeed inspiring. But though the 10 points he listed may have been well thought out, they could not touch the obvious truth that before us sat a man deeply in love with Jesus Christ. I think that this is the legacy that Bill Bright leaves behind - this is the point that in all of his talking throughout his life, he without a doubt made clearly, for all to see. It might even have been left unsaid - surely Bright never boasted about being in love with the Savior. But something so radiant never needed to be stated. Throughout his 45 minute discourse, his love for Christ radiant from within him, evident to anyone who would have seen. Truly, this was the most notable thing about Bright during his life, the thing that made his influence so wide.
