In a city where I once visited there is a street called Broad street and another called High Way.
I happened to be walking along Broad street when I met a little boy, Sammy, crying bitterly. Sammy had lost his way. He wanted to go home, but instead of going along the High Way he had turned onto Broad street by mistake. I listened to his story and taking his hand I was leading him home, when his poor mother came up all breathless with excitement. Seeing her lost little Sammy, she caught him up in her arms and hugged him and carried him safely home.
Sammy reminds me of other little boys and girls who want to go to heaven but they are lost. They are on the wrong road. They have chosen the broad road “that leads to destruction,” instead of the “High Way” that leads to heaven. What road are you on, dear young reader?
There is One who has come from heaven to seek and to save lost ones like you, even Jesus, the Saviour. He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” and if you will but trust in Him, He will take you up in His arms and carry you safe home to heaven.
“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.” Matt. 7:13,1413Enter 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: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13‑14).
