JACK was told by his father, one winter afternoon, to take two empty sacks to the miller in the next village. “Be sure,” he said, “to take the right turn in the road, Jack, and you had better take the flashlight as it will be quite dark when you get back.”
“Oh I can find my way back in the dark with my eyes shut. There is no fear of my taking the wrong road.”
So off Jack went with the sacks, and reached the village in good time. But on his way back it began to get dark.
Jack now wished he had brought the flashlight, but on he went. At last, however, he had to stop, as he was quite at a loss to know where he was going.
At last he heard footsteps, and, although he was quite frightened, he called out and, asked the way to his village. He was told that he had taken the wrong road, and as the other man was going in that direction, he sapn set Jack right and at last he reached home.
Perhaps you feel quite sure that you could find your house in the dark, and maybe you could. But there are a lot of people who think they can find the way to heaven in the dark. God, however, has provided a light for our feet, and if we turn to the Word of God we find, “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105105NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105). And what does the Word of God say about the way to heaven?
