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 Jesus
to come into his life.
As the young man stood,
a maintenance man walked
in and turned the lights on and asked,
What are you doing in here young man?
The young man explained to the
maintenance man that he was
just going to dive off of the
diving board and take a swim.
The maintenenance looked
at the young diver and said,
"well it is a good thing that
you didn't dive into that pool".
Why? asked the young diver.
The maintenenance man explained
to the young diver that if he had of dived off
of that diving board into the pool,
he would more than likley be dead.
The pool had been drained for repairs.
Remember this story
and send it to a friend.
You can be like the young diver and ask Jesus into your heart before it is too late.
