Are You Ready to Die?

Donald Grey Barnhouse, on the way home from the funeral of his first wife, was trying to think of some way of comforting his children. Just then a huge moving van passed by their car and its shadow swept over them. Instantly, Barnhouse asked, 'Children, would you rather be run over by a truck or by its shadow?' The children replied, 'Of course we'd prefer the shadow!' To which Barnhouse replied, 'Two thousand years ago the truck of death ran over the Lord Jesus...now only the shadow of death can run over us!',) Death is the chariot our heavenly Father sends to bring us to Himself.

In this comforting message on the topic of death, something that men and women fear more than anything, you will see from Pastor Barnett's message that Christ has already conquered death. It is not something to fear but it simply the door through which we pass from this earthly life to the heavenly life into the presence of our Savior that is prepared for us who believe!
