Bob Marley was the greatest Reggae musician in the history of that musical genre. His album "Exodus" was voted the best album of the century. His album "Legend" contains the 10 top selling songs of this musical genius' career.
He was a practitioner of Rastafari for most of his adult life but his exposure to Christianity in his final weeks of life have caused many to ask what did Bob Marley really believe in?
Marley was born February 6, 1945 and died of cancer on May 11, 1981. He was exposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ in his last days at the hospital by a Christian nurse. According to some of his closest friends Marley believed on Christ as his Savior and his final words in this world were "Jesus take me!".
The following video is an excellent source of information concerning Bob Marley's conversion
Marley's story reminds me of the account of the thief on the cross who came to faith in Christ on the very day that he died. It is never too late to believe on Jesus as Savior. The only requirement is that you must still be alive!
Bob Marley and the Wailers sang many songs about the Rastfarian life and many of their lyrics derided the Christian faith. It is always encouraging to hear that even enemies of the cross can be forgiven and gain eternal life if they will simply place their faith in Christ.
