One day two travelers walked quickly into a railway station, and after buying tickets and finding their train would leave in a few minutes, seated themselves comfortably in a coach. They settled down to enjoy each other’s company. They were talking earnestly to one another, when a porter poked his head in the door, and told them to “go forward”.
“But what is the matter with this coach?” they both exclaimed in the same breath.
“Nothin’,” responded the porter, “only ‘taint hitched on to nothin’ that will take you nowhere!”
The two men were sure they were right — just as many are sure they are on the way to heaven, when they are really going in the opposite direction.
There is only ONE way, and so if you are trusting in some way of your own—being good, going to church or Sunday School or whatever it may be, if it is not God’s way to save you—then “the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Just as the two men had to leave the coach of their own choice, and board one which would take them to their home, so you must come to Jesus, Who says, “I am the way and the truth and the life,” and accept Him as your Saviour. Will you come to Him now?
Christ died for us on the cross, and now He is in the glory, calling to you,
