Past present and future are three windows from which we could be able
to see what happened yesterday, what is happening right now, and what
will happen tomorrow. Now, we are watching what is happening thru the
window of present only, because the other two are closed! Are you sure?
Well, to tell you the truth, those windows are not really closed!
Those windows exist in a book, the one is called: The Bible! If we take a
Bible,open it up and start reading from its end, we could see Jesus Christ in heaven along with all his believers, enjoying eternal life with Him!
Can you see yourself with them?
No! I cannot!
That is because you haven’t accepted Christ as your Savior… Yet!
O.K. In the window of the present in which we currently are, every time
we exit the wide road to get some rest, we find us, right in front of the
deviation of those two roads a “Y” and we ask ourselves what is that
narrow road? Both roads has a sign posted at its entrance one says:
“JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE” Follow Him!
The other sign says: “You’re all right! Keep doing what you are doing!
Everything is going to be fine! Who need Jesus any way?”
Then we became curious and started to examine the narrow road, full
of rocks, stones and thorns, who in the world wants to walk on that one?
The other one is wide smooth and paved,full of fun, sex, drugs, liquor etc.
But I smelled something tricky about it! Which one should I choose?
We have been in the wide road for a long time, and now we are trying to
get out, but the narrow one does not seem to be very attractive to us,
making it hard to decide if we take it or not!
Should we continue riding on the “Highway of fun” until the end?
Or investigate further by opening the windows of the past and find out
more about this narrow road? Yes! I will do that!
So I close the window of the future and open the window of the past
and stopped when I saw that they were crucifying a man with a crown
of thorns on his head suffering and crying Abba Father! The place was
full of rocks and stones, I asked a person named John who this man on
the cross was, and he answered me: He is the Son of God, who is dying
to help us! He is our Way to God! He is: The Truth and The Life!
The man was crying and he said: Follow Him if you want to be saved!
I close the window and I found myself right in front of the roads again,
and I said: That’s it! This is the road of forgiveness! He is the forgiver!
The thorns of the road are his sufferings the rocks and stones mean that
it is not easy, but He is with us to help us to reach all the way to God!
I saw some crosses, I picked one up, put it on my shoulders, and ….
I STARTED TO FOLLOW HIM!
As you can see, God already did his part!
Now is your turn! CHOOSE RIGHT!
