Preaching the Word to the End

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Passing of John MacArthur

SAN DIEGO, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Another giant of the faith has gone home to be with the Lord. My friend and fellow pastor John MacArthur, who dedicated his life to biblical exposition, is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior.

John exemplified dedication and tenacity throughout his 60+ years of ministry, including 56 years as pastor of Grace Community Church, 48 years in managing his Grace to You broadcast programming, and his years serving at The Master's University and The Master's Seminary. He lived a life of unwavering devotion to Christ, and his years of service in the ministry will undoubtedly leave a legacy.

While we mourn the loss of our friend and colleague in the faith, we stand on God's promise that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord," and we rejoice in this knowledge, praying it brings comfort to his family, friends, and congregation.

Please join me in praying for the MacArthur family, Grace Community Church, The Master's University, The Master's Seminary, and all their extended family and friends as they grieve and navigate the days ahead.

May the Lord heal the brokenhearted, comfort them in their affliction, and may the knowledge that He is with them and that John's hope is now a reality turn their mourning into joy.
