Which Road

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  Matthew 7:14

 

You may not be old enough to remember July 16, 1969, but on that historic day, American astronauts astonished the world with their spectacularly successful first visit to the moon. They were able to succeed because they steered the Apollo 11 craft along a very narrow trajectory through space. No deviation was permitted, and flight corrections were made periodically throughout the historic voyage.

Now suppose the NASA control center in Houston had received word from Apollo 11 that the astronauts were off-course and replied, "Oh, that's all right. A number of roads lead to the moon. Just keep going the way you are going." You and I know they would have kept going--but they would never have come back.

People today don't like the word narrow, but Jesus clearly said there are two roads to the future for all of us: the path to Hell and destruction is broad, but the way to Heaven is narrow. Which road are you on? Is a course correction necessary?
