On Good Friday morning I heard this story twice in one hour on American Family Radio—first by Robert Jeffres, then by Sandy Rios.
A well-known theologian named Barnhouse experienced the devastating loss of his wife.
He was struggling and asking God for something to say to their three small children, now without their mother.
As they were riding in the hearse on the way to the cemetery, a large truck passed, momentarily casting its shadow on them.
God answered the father’s prayer.
He asked his oldest child whether she would rather have them hit by the shadow of the truck or by the truck.
She answered, “The shadow, because it can’t hurt us.”
So there, “the shadow of death” cannot hurt us, if the Lord is our Shepherd.
