The Shaow of the Cross
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 in the shape of a
cross.
Instead of diving, he knelt down
and asked God to come into his
life.
As the young man stood, a maintenance
man walked in and turned the
lights
on.
The pool had been drained for repairs.
