| Road Map — Part 1 |
“Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read” (Isaiah 34:16). |
| An elderly sailor entered a bookshop, went to the young clerk and said, “I need a map to help me find my way.” |
| “Certainly, which map would you like? Western Canada, Ontario, the Maritime Provinces, maybe the United States of America, or perhaps some country in Europe?” |
| “No, none of those,” the sailor responded, “I need a map to show me the way to heaven.” |
| “The way to heaven?” The salesperson thought for a moment, then added, “I know what you mean, you want a Bible.” |
| “That’s it! You’ve got my meaning,” replied the sailor. |
| The Bible was purchased and as the man was about to leave the shop, he turned to the clerk and asked, “Do you know this map?” |
| “Oh yes, I occasionally read a passage in it.” |
| “I am glad to hear it, that’s a good thing, but you know, my friend, don’t think just reading it is enough: you have to believe the Bible and obey it.” |
