Listen from:
Mrs. Williams was crossing the road on a steep hill when she saw a car racing down the hill toward her. She quickly ran toward the other side of the road, but to her alarm the car swerved violently toward that side of the road.
“What is that driver doing?” she screamed.
With a desperate leap she made it to the sidewalk an instant before the car shot by. It only missed her by a few feet. Then to her horror she saw there was no driver at the steering wheel! Faster and faster the car flew down the hill, zigzagging first to one side and then to the other, until it finally reached the bottom and crashed into a wall.
A life without the Lord Jesus Christ “at the wheel” is like a car without a driver - a danger to itself and to everyone else. Have you given the steering wheel of your life to the Lord Jesus? Have you accepted Him as your very own Saviour, and are you letting Him lead you?
“I am the light of the world: he that [follows] Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:1212Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)).
