1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Not the message most people expect on Thanksgiving Sunday. But death is the one appointment every one of us will keep, and the believer has more reason to give thanks in the face of it than anyone else alive. David walked through the valley of the shadow of death and feared no evil. This message asks how he could say that, and what changes when we stop looking at death through our own eyes and begin to see it through the eyes of God.
We consider the threat of death, why we had to die, how Satan uses the fear of death to hold men in bondage, and how the Lord Jesus overcame death by death itself. We consider the timing of death, the shortness of life, and the single dash on a tombstone in which the most important decision of a lifetime must be made. And we consider what death is for the child of God, a sleep in Jesus, a departure, and a release, with grace given at the hour it is needed and not one moment before. Death is a defeated foe. For the Christian it is only a shadow, and a shadow cannot hurt you. But for the one who is outside of Christ, death remains an enemy still.
