Dear reader, take a good look at this picture. Isn’t it lovely? It shows a quiet country road in the noonday sun. Wouldn’t you like to travel along this road and see where it leads? I know I would. Somehow I reel that this road leads to a beautiful country.
But, dear friend, what is the road like upon which you are traveling? No, I don’t mean the road you take to school, or to the grocery store, or to your place of business. I mean your own individual pathway through life. Where is it leading you? Can you see the end of it? Or are you afraid to look?
Oh, dear friend, do not be satisfied with saying, “I don’t know—hope everything is alright.” Let me tell you of a wonderful road I know, which leads to a country far more beautiful than anything you or I. have ever seen.
Yes, this road is more narrow than the one you are traveling now if unsaved, and it may seem there are fewer people on it, but, O, my friend, this road leads to Heaven; Heaven where there shall be no night, no sickness, no sadness, no death, and no crying, nothing but eternal joy and happiness. Won’t you come with me along this road?
You ask site how did I get into this glorious road. I would be so glad to tell you.
I just took God at His Word. He told me that the end of “the broad road” on which I was traveling was eternal judgment. He told me of my awful condition as a lost sinner before Him. But, blessed be His Name, He told me that His own Son, the Lord Jesus, shed His precious blood on Caary’s cross to wash away all my guilty sins. And I JUST BELIEVED HIM. Isn’t it so wonderfully simple?
Friend, won’t you take God at His Word, too? Won’t you take the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour now and walk along the narrow way? He will make you so happy that you will want to sing His praises all the day long.
