Summary

Ozzy Osbourne, known primarily as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, passed away yesterday at the age of 76. He had a long and often contradictory relationship with themes of heaven, hell, God, Satan, and salvation. Much of his public persona and lyrics are steeped in dark, controversial, or provocative imagery. Osbourne had often played with occult symbolism for shock value or artistic metaphor. Still, his own words repeatedly disavow Satanism and affirm a belief in God and some form of final judgment. He often spoke of guilt, redemption, and the hope of mercy. Though not doctrinally consistent or grounded in Christian theology, his statements suggest a man aware of his moral failings and uncertain about where he stands with God, yet hopeful for grace. Listen tonight on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis at 7 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com. Call in to the LIVE show at 503-225-0860.
