Where Do You Want To Go? In
the children’s classic, Alice
in Wonderland, Alice came to a fork in the road
where she met the Cheshire Cat. "Which
way should I go?" she asked. Which
way do YOU
want to go? That
seems to be one of the perplexing issues that plagues
the world today. People don't know where they want to
go. The result is that many are adrift going where
the tide of life takes them. Others have bought
into a lifestyle that costs a lot of time and
resources - the acquisition of material possessions,
prestige, power or fame – without really
contemplating the consequences of such a decision.
Still others just try to be unique, not caring if
their life really matters as long as they walk to the
beat of a different drummer. What
is clear... is that the Bible shows that there are
only TWO paths that one can take. One leads
to eternal life
– along the
narrow road with only a few willing to take that road.
While the other leads to destruction
– along the broad road that is traveled by many. You
may be like Alice and really don't have an idea of
where you want to go. Let me make a suggestion. Take
the path that leads to God! Heaven will be your
reward, life here on earth will be more fulfilling,
and peace that is beyond understanding will fill your
life. This path is made possible and is clearly marked
by the life and blood of the Son of God, for He ALONE
leads you in the paths of righteousness. The
path that Jesus has made available is one that brings
the abundant life NOW and eternal life to come.
The gate is open to those who believe
in Him (Acts 16:31), repent
of their sins (2 Corinthians 7:10), are baptized
in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins
(Acts 2:38), AND put Him first in their lives by
walking faithfully along the road that leads to life
(Matthew 7:13-14). Yes,
if you don't know where you are going, one road may
SEEM as good as another, BUT the end of those roads
are an eternity apart! Won’t
you choose the road that leads to life? (click

bless you!
