Bible Verse
“Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets... that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.”
— Acts 5:15 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“Connected with Christ, human nature becomes a channel through which God’s blessings flow to others.”
— The Desire of Ages, p. 141
Reflection
Peter didn’t speak. He didn’t touch. He didn’t even stop. And yet, his shadow brought healing.
There’s something humbling about this story. It tells us that when a person walks so closely with Jesus, even their shadow their quiet presence, their passing moment can be used by God.
We often think we need the right words or dramatic actions to make an impact. But sometimes, it’s our closeness to Christ, not our cleverness, that allows healing to flow through us.
Your shadow reaches places you never intend. What kind of presence are you leaving behind?
You may never know the lives touched by simply walking with Christ. Even your shadow can carry grace.
