In a city where I once visited, there is a street called the Broadway and another called the Highway. I was walking along Broadway when I met a little boy crying bitterly. Wally had lost his way. He wanted to go home, but instead of going along the Highway, he had turned onto Broadway by mistake.
I listened to his story, and taking his hand, I was leading him home, when his poor mother came up all breathless and excited. Seeing her lost little boy, she caught him up in her arms and hugged him and carried him safely home.
Wally reminds me of other little boys and girls who are also on the wrong road. They want to go to heaven some day, but instead of taking the “high way,” they have chosen the “broad way” that leads to destruction.
Now there is One who has come from heaven to seek and to save lost ones, even Jesus the Saviour. He is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” and if you will but trust in Him, He will take you up in His arms and carry you safe home to heaven.
