The Road Home

This is the road that leads to our new home. It would be the road home. We took my Sister-in-Law and her husband to see our new home yesterday. One of her comments to me was that she loved the road to the home.

It is very country , very picturesque, very Fall in New England................ It got me thinking about our Road home.

Not the road that leads to our homes here. But the Road that leads to heaven. Our Home as believers.

I don't believe that there are many roads. I believe that there is one road. I believe it begins when we encounter the Lord Jesus Christ and he becomes our Personal Lord and Saviour. We begin our walk home with Him.

Sometimes there are bumps in the road, sometimes there are forks in the road, ditches, potholes, tree limbs, road-kill. All designed to cause us to seek an alternate route.

M'r:4:15: And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

But the road that leads to Eternal life is one-way. God's Word tells us :

M't:7:13: 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:M't:7:14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Jesus is the way . He is the only way.

Joh:14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


No Better Place

was eight years old when I decided to follow Jesus I started down that road, Somebody told me that this path that leads to heaven Will not be the easy way Well I found that to be true, But I also found, I found out there's No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven No other place I'd rather be!
No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven No better place to be!
Well, I know this road has a final destination But I also know that if we're only looking for the prize that's waiting We'll miss so much along the way 'Cause Jesus came to give us life in the here and now and to show us that there's No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven No other place I'd rather be!
No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven No better place to be!
I know this path we travel on Is very straight and narrow But I've looked down other roads along the way And from all I've seen I can say without a doubt there's No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven No other place I'd rather be! No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven No better place to be!
