Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, &ld;Death in its substance has been removed, and only the shadow of it remains.… Nobody is afraid of a shadow, for a shadow cannot block a man&rs;s pathway for even a moment. The shadow of a dog can&rs;t bite; the shadow of a sword can&rs;t kill.&rd;

Christ Himself took the full force of death&rs;s destroying power by dying and paying for our sin, then rising from the grave. Trusting Jesus may not remove death&rs;s shadow, but remember, shadows can&rs;t hurt us - D.J.D.
