Billy Webb- a godly example

 
As we mourn the loss of Mr. Billy, I was thinking about the impact he had on the lives of so many. As a Sunday school teacher he had an impact on so many kids lives. His innovative teaching methods were amazing. So many know their bibles because of the ways he taught them to memorize it. He taught until he just physically could not do it anymore.

Another great quality about Mr. Billy was his love for people. When you talked to him you knew he genuinely cared about you. He showed interest in you. He took time for you. He loved you.

Kindness is a description of Mr. Billy. I personally never heard him say an unkind word about anyone! The kids loved Mr. Billy because of this kindness and the encouragement he gave them.

As you look over what I have said about describing Mr. Billy it makes you think of another person....Jesus. Mr. Billy loved Jesus and tried His best to follow Jesus with His life and actions. What a great example Mr. Billy is to us all in our walk with the Lord! He with out a doubt followed this verse:

1 Timothy 4:12

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Because of Mr. Billy's example for us it is without a doubt I know that he heard these words from Jesus on Wednesday afternoon:

Matthew 25:21

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

Thank you Mr. Billy for the difference you made in my life and in the lives of so many for Jesus. We love you and will see you on the other side soon!
