A boy was passing along the street with a book under his arm, when a man said to him, "Can you tell me the way to Waterloo Station, my lad?”
"Yes, sir," cheerfully replied the boy;” and I can tell you the way to heaven, too."
The man looked surprised.
“Well, my boy, I should like to know both ways."
"Straight before you, sir, no turnings, will bring you right to the station; and (looking up with a happy smile) 'Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life'; and that's the way to heaven, sir."
Did that little boy know more than you do? Are you trying some way of your own to be saved? Now, what's the use Jesus says, "I am THE way." Do you believe it, that Jesus, and He alone, is the way to the Father? You may say, Yes, I do.
Why, then, not go to Him? Do you doubt if you would be made welcome? Why did God send His Son into the world at all? Was it not that He might open a way for sinners to get back to Himself? Yes, Jesus died on Calvary's cross, and now, you may go right to God this very moment, through Jesus, and find a welcome, yea, more than a welcome. Think of the Father's grace to the prodigal, Luke 15. Such is God's heart towards you. The prodigal "arose, and came to his father." Go thou and do likewise, for Jesus said, "I AM THE WAY."
