My heart sunk when I saw this. His sermons pulled me out of some of my darkest places. I expect to thank him face to face someday
By the grace of God you will!
By the grace of God you can thank him in heaven when you meet him there. Be Blessed.
He has been such a faith Pastor and deliverer of the Word. He has gone to his well deserved reward and resting in Jesus' Arms.
yes me 2. He has encouraged me to continue to trust God even more and reminding me how much God loves me.
Pippa, my sentiments exactly. I just loved Tim Keller!
We spent the last year with our son who had stage 4 oral cancer. While he was suffering, we read Tim's book on suffering which really put things into perspective. Our son passed away in early March. In going through his things we saw that our son had read other books by Tim. When we realized Tim was fighting cancer, it was encouragement to our son in his fight. God used this man in our lives and during a very critical time.
Praying for you & sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Words feel so shallow here but you are being lifted up. Have you read Tim Challie’s book, “Seasons of Suffering?” I’m about half way through it right now but I’d highly recommend that for you & your family right now.. he also recently lost his son & walks through that on his book & shared his heart in a way that has brought me to tears several times. He truly grasps suffering in Christ in a way that I have not found to be common, at least not in rural suburban, comfortable America that rarely experiences real loss in life. Praying for you to stay strong in this season of suffering. You and your family are never alone. ❤️🙏🏼
My condolences to you and your family.
Now they are together. Sorry for your loss.
Tom,
My heart is crushed reading this. Our son had stage four testicular cancer, and I know the hardship of walking through a cancer journey with a child. I’m so grateful that your son had the opportunity to read books by Tim Keller! I’m sure he would’ve loved to of heard that. Sending big HOLY hugs. Peace of Christ…👼🙏
I’m from a family of non-Christians. God used Tim Keller to help me understand the gospel more deeply and adore Christ more richly. It’s my privilege now as a physician to share that compassion, kindness, and hope with others. Tim Keller is truly one of the heroes of the faith.
He did the same for me Stephanie. I was not raised Christian. He helped form me into the Christian I am today! I’m crushed but what a HUGE gain for heaven 😢❤
Now he and Dr. Stanley are with our Lord and Savior - oh death, where is your victory?!? Thank You Jesus and You Holy Spirit for providing comfort in knowing they are both home.
Lost two giants close together. God please raise up more men like Dr. Stanley and Pastor Keller. Our younger, misguided generation needs that more than the cool pastors in sneakers that seem to be falling off one by one.
I wished to shake his hands one day and tell him how much of an influence he had on my life😢
You will, when we and the world are new ❤
What an inspiration God b with the family
You will, you certainly will!!
I had the same wish
@@elusivemayfly7534 That’s beautiful 🥹
His sermons helped me out of one of the darkest moments in my life. Rest well sir... A girl from a little place in Africa
Mawuya.☺️
I found this man when I questioned my faith, I found this man when I continued to experience failure, I found this man when I had difficulties as a husband, I found this man when I first experienced true loss, I found this man when I kept falling short, and I found this man when I hoped to understand the beauty of the Gospel and Christ! And each time he shepherded me ever so wisely, candidly, and gently only a Tim Keller could! Still can't believe how sad I felt for someone I had never met, but just goes to show you the testament of his impact on my life! Thank You Tim and Kathy and Family! #ThankYouTimKeller
our brother has done is work father God we pray that you wraparound is family with your love at this time and father let us do what we are called to do in this time amen
I have the same feeling, Jenson. Just wanted you to know you're not alone in your sadness.
Enjoy your crowns Dr. Keller! And the presence of our Lord and Savior. We will miss you dearly ❤
Timothy Keller will remain one of the few great examples of godly men who lived their purposes and finished strong in this century!
May the Lord comfort his family.
See you soon, Tim Keller
How beautiful are the feet of them that bring Good News. Tim Keller, in heaven will have the most beautiful feet indeed. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Have mercy upon his wife and family.
Thank you Pastor Tim Keller. I have been Christian for 4 decades. My son introduced me to your teachings. Since then my faith has been strengthen and deepen. Your wisdom influenced thinking and culture. I am always persuaded by your winsome approach in addressing hard questions . Thank you for your generous giving to bring hope through the gospel of truth. Thank you for the legacy of authentic living that has impacted culture in a transforming way.
Thank God for you!!
I cried like I lost someone so dear to me yet he never knew me. God deepened my understanding of my faith through Pastor Tim’s sermons. It’s now your turn to see the tree, Pastor Tim! Thank you for leaving us with the legacy of the leaf ❤️
I cried too..many "memories" flood my soul of all the sermons of him that I had listened to...that which pulled me out of depths of darkness into the light of the gospel
Yeeeeesssssssss!!!!!! 🌳🌳🌳
Was saddened to see this video pop up on RUclips this morning. Thank you & God bless you Tim Keller. You are now with the King, our saviour, Jesus Christ.
The world is a little bit darker without Tim. Eternal memory!
Pastor Tim, I have never met you in person, but over the past three years, you have been my pastor digitally. Your sermons finally ignited God's love in my heart after many years of God remaining a concept in my head. Thank you for introducing me to the joy of the Lord through God's word! Sing on in glory, brother Timothy! I can't wait to finally meet you in person when that day comes. I am warning you now to expect a longer than comfortable hug.
A great message 🎉🎉🎉
My condolence from Taipei, Taiwan. Thank you Mr.Tim Keller for so many insightful, delightful, inspirational sermons from time to time.
He made the super intelligent side of Christianity understandable to me. I’m not a scholar, pastor nor have I gone to seminary. Just a plain mum who wanted understand some biblical things a bit deeper - grateful ❤
He was the only preacher who could help me through the darkest depression. Thank God for Tim Keller. My heart is grieving 😢.
God bless you
No words to adequately express my gratitude for Tim Keller’s teachings. #thankyoutimkeller
The kingdom is rejoicing as we already miss him so. This man more than any other human helped me grow as a christian. Cant wait to meet him someday
Tim Keller's The Prodigal God, so aptly named, is an inspiring treatise of the parable we know as the Prodigal Son. Pastor Keller is in the presence of the his beautiful, wonderful, merciful heavenly Father.
I'm a 74 yo widow with no family but I felt he was. Thank you TK. ❤
I can't believe this.. In much shock. I never met this man but he helped me walk through my sister's painful death in his book 'Walking With God Through Pain and Suffering'..
Goodnight sir.
Thank you, Tim, for all you did. Now you rest with the Father, free from all pain and suffering. Enjoy Him.
MAY YOU BE IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, SOLDIER OF THE LORD JESUS...
I’ve read a number of books by TK as many of you have also.
The first one I saw being carried around by others was “The Reason for God” and then when I moved to Memphis to go through Downline Ministires Emerging Leaders program we were instructed to read “Prodigal God” and later on my own I read a few others like “The Meaning of Marriage” “Jesus The King” “Preaching” “Galatians for You” and “Making Sense Of God” and maybe a few others.
He words things very well in most of his writings. A very clear thinker. A student of C.S Lewis, as far as taking in his wealth of wisdom.
He’s definitely made an impact on how I understand the gospel through his books and sermons. A lot of times in his sermons I would be caught off guard the direction he was taking the message and truly surprised how he always brought it back to the gospel.
Amazing gift to his family and extended family (The Church)
Thank you, Mr. Keller
✝️
I never met you in person, but through your podcasts and sermons, you felt like a faithful and encouraging friend. Missing you here in New Zealand. Farewell, until we meet one day.
Dear brother,
Your prodigal sons sermons changed my life. You’re now cancer free. ❤❤
Amen.
Wow, so surreal. Keller was such a gift especially to NYC. May his ministries continue to live on and build the Kingdom, until the Lord comes.
I love you Dr. Keller. You will be greatly missed. THANK YOU for making a difference in my life
Mari
Though I've never set foot on NYC, I have visited and revisited Tim Keller's books and sermons--especially on the subjects of suffering and sexuality. I've watched his kind, intelligent face and listened to his wise words via video so many times... I'm gonna miss him.
His sermons sustained me and the missionaries on our team in China. We would weekly listen to his sermons together.
So much I could say about this man and how his teachings so impacted (and are impacting) my wife and me. I never met him. Never saw him teach in public. Yet I have listened so so many messages, read his books and experienced how Jesus used Tim to preach the TRUE gospel over and over again until it sunk into my heart and soul so deeply I will never be the same.
So many people who have been gifted this way slowly let it go to their heads and they forget that their gift came from God. From all accounts Tim never let this power teaching gift become his identity and cause him to talk down to the people he was teaching. He taught with power yet humility and I don't believe I have ever seen someone with that degree of a teaching gift do that.
We will all miss him so.
I am a non-believer, but I respected Tim Keller for his intellect, and listened to him with deep interest. Above all that, however, I respected him for his heart.
Farewell and thank you so much for your contribution to keep my faith alive … Rest in His arms ps. Tim .. ❤
God used Timm Keller in such a powerful way in my life, through his books and sermons.
When I was struggling to regain my faith, his words showed me the beauty, love and majesty of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Rest in peace Tim.
Tim Keller really understood The Gospel at heart, to the point where he was empowered to make it come alive in every single aspect of our 21st century socio-political world. Truly influential, truly inspirational, truly a faithful servant!
Praise Jesus for shaping Tim Keller into the man in Christ he became, and his ability to convey the depths of your significance to the masses. I love and miss you, Tim!
Thank you for impacting my life Tim .In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore
Desperately sad that we’ve lost such a man. ❤️🕊️❤️
I started reading Tim Keller after my mom died. I was mad. as. fire! A friend took me to B&N for a book. I chose "A Reason for Faith" at a time that I wasn't sure if faith was reasonable. I read it quickly. It really helped. I learned that when platitudes ain't cuttin' it, see what Tim Keller has to say about it! His work was predictably insightful and inspired. He will be missed but his memory will be a blessing to 1000 generations! #ThankYouTimKeller
I celebrate and I love you Tim Keller. Your sermons light my path. See you in heaven
Tim made Jesus Christ beautiful. I think that’s the best compliment anyone can get.
Tim opened a new world to me regarding reason and religion. He was expressive, had a sense of humor, and such detailed knowledge of scripture that it was shocking sometimes how his sermons changed my perception of God, myself and the relationship therein; Thank you Tim. God's blessings to your family bro.
He was like a modern day CSLewis to me but without the fantasy writings. He will certainly be missed.
Lord, thank you for the blessing of being able to hear this man for a while. 🙏🙏✝️
Love using his God’s Wisdom….devotional year after year…..his prayers reflect such humility and vulnerability.
This is so sad, yet we celebrate his life. God graciously used him to shape our lives. He taught me to pay more attention to my inward life and to preach to the heart. He introduced me to many books. Much love Keller family from South Africa ❤❤🙏
We miss you already, Pastor Keller. Thank you for all of your heartfelt contributions to humanity. You made our world a better place as you pointed us toward the next. Looking forward to meeting you in heaven one day.
I was watching his video interview on prayer today, then happned upon this announcement. Ahh, Father! Such a precious leader!
pretty cool to see people commenting and paying their respects in all types of languages from all sorts of places. What a legacy.
I'm Brazilian. Tim Keller helped me with his books. His last words " I can't wait to see Jesus" shows me your faith and hopefulness that I also need.
I miss you my friend. I look forward to see you again in the eternal realm of Joy.
Thank you for your sermons. They got me through sleepless nights of withdrawals from addiction. Bless you sir. Well done faithful servant
I was so saddened by Tim's passing...he has been promoted to glory & sitting by the Jesus he brought to so many. The humility & witty humor, as well as biblical meaning that he simplified...was always a blessing. I am not only a better person & Christian from his teachings....but it got me through the toughest moments. Thank you Tim RIP....you finished your race🙏🏽
Tim Keller thank you! You have been a faithful servant of the indwelling living WORD and an excellent exponent of the written word and walk of faith. Rest well in the eyes of us who you leave behind, but for you now in glory for God knows no time.
Only one life twill soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last. Well done good and faithful servant!! He’s with the Lord now!!
A Soldier of the Lord! There are only two Ministers of the Gospel when they passed on to Glory that I cried. E. V. Hill and Tim Keller. This soft spoken giant ministered the Gospel with clarity and depth of understanding. Touched my life. Never met him but I will never forget him. Praying for his wife and family.
I’ve been dreading this day, but striving to see the joy we are to hope for about death in the scriptures. The world has lost a great man. Thank you Tim for your ministry and heart. He changed my whole understanding of the gospel when I first heard him in the ‘Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World’ series. Niche, but it had an impact on me that cannot be understated. Absolutely groundbreaking stuff. Thank you for it all.
I had the privilege of listening to Pastor Keller's sermons in-person back in the day. Thank you for living the Gospel and seeking out the unreached. May the presence of God comfort your family and the broader fellowship of believers. Death has no victory!
What an articulate and humble bible scholar. He presented God’s Word in a way that captivated my heart. I was introduced to one of his books on Psalms about 10 years ago. Then during lockdown I was truly blessed with many of his teachings on RUclips and on Premier Christian Radio in the UK. My heart sank on hearing about Tim’s diagnosis of cancer but trusted the Lord for a miracle. And our God did 🙏🏽 He blessed Tim with nearly two years considering the aggressive type of cancer that it was. Tim has touched many life’s with winsome expository of the Gospel. Absence from the body present with his Lord. Thank God for Tim’s life. Deepest sympathy to his wife, children and wider family. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
In my men’s study group, we began studying Tim Keller’s work about two months ago, Gospel In Life and Reason For God.
Rest with Jesus. Thank you for your ministry. Will miss you.
Rip Timothy James Keller, you will be missed
I have been a Christian for many years but I have never reflected on my Christian faith, walk, and life more deeply than the way Tim Keller's teachings have inspired me to. His spiritual wisdom and insight have changed the way I view and understand the Bible, and its impact on my life in more practical and supernatural ways than I could ever imagine. Tim's passing is indeed a loss to the faith community; a brilliant Man of God we will remember forever and what he has left us with is nothing short of God's divine goodness. 🙏
God Bless You Pastor Tim. I came across your book The Reason For God a few days before you transitioned to Glory and looked up your church. Your writing appealed to me because of your intellect and intelligence. I never knew you!! But when I heard of your passing I was struck. God Almighty who created you Sir has claimed you back you are so very precious to him. But your legacy here on earth will remain forever with generations that will come across your books and teachings etc. May Perpetual Light shine on you and may Almighty God Comfort your Family and the wider community of all you interreacted with and engaged with throughout you life.
I am gutted, but so very thankful for his ministry. We do not grieve as those who haveno hope!!😢
Tim Keller's ministry brought so much richness to me about God and the Bible. He helped me to see the Bible as One big story all about God's redemption plan and how to live out the Gospel every day not just at the end of my days [death]
I can't believe I am crying when I hear this sad news. He has changed my understanding of what I believe and helped me to get deeper in relationship with God. Thank you, Tim Keller and thank you God for giving him the wisdom he needed to share the truth about You.
What an example of a strong faith walked out...no compromise....I'm sad. Will treasure all his books on my shelf...
A mentor of mine told me several years ago how he cried when he heard RC Sproul had died, I told him I never considered it but Tim Keller was so impactful to me that I knew I would do the same for him. I called my mentor yesterday to let him know. He said "it's such a terrible but beautiful thing", which is exactly how I felt knowing Tim is with Christ! I thank God for great men and teachers who were never perfect but were always faithful.
Tim Keller spoke with clarity, resulting in a faithful connection between scripture and life application.
I want to express my sincere gratitude for your teachings. They have truly impacted my perspective on the Gospel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Tim has been like a spurgeon and a lewis in one man. Truly this man changed my life, by telling me the gospel in a way non has #thankyouTimKeller
Cher Tim, Que le Seigneur vous bénisse et vous garde. You have and remain a precious source of wisdom for me. You are a model pastor whose depth of faith and knowledge were married in your kind heart. Je remercie Dieu de vous connaître. You will remain a blessing always.
Levy Shalom
I am so genuinely sad at the loss of Tim Keller but I know he is with his Lord. He has such a pastoral heart and love for people. He's a gentle and kind spirit. I know the Lord is saying to him now "well done good and faithful servant"
It's incredible to think how Tim was able to plant such a rooted, Christ-centered church in the heart of New York City. Tim inspires me to embrace the messiness of culture, not to love it, but to see it, acknowledge it, and prayerfully adapt my way of relating to others so that more people can come back to the Father's house
#ThankYouTimKeller He was a blessing to the world and to me personally - speaking Truth through darkness. He was a great vessel for the Gospel.
After 44 years of being in church, I am just now learning how to be a Christian thanks to Timothy Keller. The Prodigal God floored me. And “Counterfeit Gods” taught me the secret to a successful marriage.
I hadn't listened to Tim too much but i know that when I did listen there was something extraordinary about how he spoke about the gospel and how he linked it to modern day culture. He was gifted.
Meet you in heaven Tim.
Dear Tim, why did you leave just when I started following your teachings ? You made such an impact in my life even on my first laying eyes on you and hearing you speak though thousands of miles away. Thank you deeply and May your spirit continue to lead us to Christ Jesus .
Pastor Timothy Keller preaching and teaching has pulled me out of some very dark places. He did it in such a graceful and non judgemental way. I am thankful to our Heavenly Father for the blessing that poured into my life through Pastor Tim’s teaching, podcast, videos and writings. My prayers are with your family and those who love you.
There is power in the written and living Word of God! It is available to all believers.
THANK YOU, TIM KELLER. THANK YOU FOR HIS LIFE, JESUS.
Our God is truly Amazing! This is not our home. His plan and purpose for our life is eternal. It is an honor to be with the Lord. Tim is home with the Lord! Thank Jesus for the blessing of Tim. May your peace continue to be with his loved one.
So sad. He certainly encouraged my heart when I read his books and listened to him on you tube. Very very sad. Will be praying fir Kathy and his boys and their wives and grandchildren and all who loved him. He's with Jesenow. Our greatest hope.
Kerry from Canada 🇨🇦
We grieve alongside your family but celebrate 🎉 the life you now have with the Father, in your glorious form. Praise God for your time on this earth to be able to share his grace and love and what that means to us. Thank you again Pastor Tim!
😔😔😔 he really pulled me out of a terribly dark time last year. He helped me see God in a real way. The gospel does change everything.
Prayers for the Keller family in their mourning. Felt such a pervasive sense of grief yesterday when I heard this news. Heaven welcomes a good servant, but many will miss and ache for what he represented and meant for believers here. God bless him & his family.
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven" = ADORE CHRIST. Thanks to Pastor Keller for helping me to see the preeminence of Christ.
So sad to see this. Dr. Keller I am so grateful to your sermon and your sermon guided me to the Truth. Rest in peace
Well done brother Tim. We are all gonna see you soon
Thank you pastor Tim Keller, your teaching helped me a lot to understand God’s word.
Glory to God for the live of Tim Keller.
His book, “The Freedom of Self Forgetfulness” is great and remembering it helps me almost everyday, he’s with the Lord now 🙏
I knew pastor Keller was sick with cancer and I knew I will hear that he passed to eternal life, I really thank God for this servant, what a wonderful way on teaching and explaining at the same time the Bible verses, was easy to understand him, the Lord used him many times to uplift my soul when I was down, so beautiful to know that one day we will be with our Lord for ever and ever, I am sure the Lord received pastor Keller and told him:
“His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’”
Matthew 25:23 NKJV
🌸🙏
He fought the good fight, he finished the race, he kept the faith.
Very saddened to hear this. Thanking God for the blessing that Tim Keller was to so many. Praying for his loved ones.
He may be in NYC but he has touched my life like a Spiritual dad through his preachings and books. Thank you Dr Keller. You have helped me know and love Jesus more 🤍
I never met Tim, but, as many around the world, I was impacted by his testimony of life and teaching of the Word. The greatest lesson, among many others that Tim left for me, was that in every circumstance, in every moment in life and history, we should POINT TO JESUS as our ultimate savior and answer for life questions. Thanks Tim (and Kathy) for fighting the good battle till the end and for being a solid Christian model that is rare in these days. See you in Heaven!
