Which Road?
I saw a “Christian” meme (because
it was posted by a Christian Leader); it was a drawing of a lush green wooded
area with a two lane paved winding road. The caption said: “Focus your goals
and your path will be revealed automatically!”
My first thought was that’s not true!
Many people focus on their dreams and desires and it is most often a difficult road
and does not always end in success.
From a Biblical perspective it is
actually the opposite! JESUS told us to “seek first The Kingdom of GOD and His
Righteousness” and our needs will be provided. JESUS also told us to
avoid the easy road that leads to the wide gate of destruction; but to stay on
the difficult road that leads to the narrow gate of Eternal Life!
JESUS told us that life as a
Christian would be difficult and we would be persecuted for giving our life to
Him. He also told us not to worry about what people can do to us, the worst is
they can kill us, which will send us directly to The Father and earn us an
Eternal reward. But to fear GOD Who Judges to eternal damnation or Eternal
Life.
So as the Apostle Paul said to the
Christians in Corinth, “Watch, stand fast in the Faith, be brave, be strong.
Let all that you do be done with Love!”
Also Paul told the Hebrew
Christians, “You have not yet resisted to bloodshed striving against sin.”
If you are not suffering for being
a Christian, then you may be on the wrong road!
