--WHICH ROAD ARE YOU ON? ~

--"Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth
to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat." --[Matthew 7:13] --

--WE ARE all on a journey from the cradle to the grave, as the poem says, and there is no turning back once we start out. Some people believe that when the journey is finished, that's the end. Are they right? Let's consider Jesus' words in today's Bible reading. He spoke of two ways on which all people are traveling. One is the broad way and the other is the narrow way.

On the broad way their are restrictions and plenty of liberties. People can freely fulfill their passions and indulge their lusts, and many others are traveling along with them. But most of the people seldom consider what lies ahead. If they continue on this road, it will take them to hell, the bottomless pit, destruction.

The other road is the narrow way that leads to Heaven. Jesus is inviting us all to travel that way; the Bible also calls it the way of the Lord or the way of holiness. How can we get on the narrow way? We must repent of all our sins, leave our sinful habits, and believe in Jesus Christ for salvation. He is the only One who can take away the burden and guilt of sin, and give us true peace and joy in our hearts.

To travel the narrow way, we need to read the Bible daily, allow the Holy Spirit to teach us, and belong to a church where God's Word is taught and obeyed. We must always remember to follow Jesus, who is "the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6). Is that the road you are traveling?

--"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it." --[Matthew 7:14]
