Some time ago, as I was walking in the country, I saw a number of men at work near the road, and said to one of them, "Well, friend, what are you doing?"
"Why, sir," said he, "we are making a new road to the great house. The old road you will see winding round the hill is very crooked and rather dangerous, beside which you see there's a tollgate at the bottom of it."
"Then you are about to make a straight road that will be shorter, easier, safer, and will avoid the tollgate."
"Yes, sir; that's just it."
"That," said I, "is just what the Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to do, and what He has done; He has made a new road to His Father's house, a road that is just suited to sinners."
[James Smith]
John 14:6 ... Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Psalm 119:35 ... Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
Matthew 7:13-14 ... Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. ❤
