The Shadow

The Shadow
(Playing ~ "Our God Reigns")

A young man who had been
raised as an atheist was training
to be an Olympic diver.

The only religious influence
in his life came from his
outspoken Christian friend.

The young diver never really
paid much attention to his
friend's sermons, but he
heard them often.

One night the diver went to the
indoor pool at the college
he attended.

The lights were all off, but
as the pool had big skylights
and the moon was bright,
there was plenty of light
to practice by.

The young man climbed up
to the highest diving board
and as he turned
his back to the pool on the
edge of the board and
extended his arms out,
he saw his shadow
on the wall.

The shadow of his body
was in the shape
of a cross.

Instead of diving, he knelt
down and finally asked God
to come into his life.

As the young man stood, a
maintenance man walked in
and turned the lights on.
