A few years back, I had to travel to Concord NH in the early morning to take a continuing education course. Not having been to the particular hotel where the conference was, I put the address in my GPS. This was a few years ago and GPS's were perhaps not as good as they are today. Finally, I got to the address and I looked up and it was an old broken-down barn on a dead-end road in Concord. Not anything close to the major hotel which I was trying to get to. I can imagine an old farmer coming out and responding to my request for better directions, "you can't get there from here." When you don't know where you're going, any road will do. But if you're trying to get to heaven, there is only one way. Many people believe in God, but few believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He is God. Many people want to go to heaven when they die, but most believe any road will do. The road of their own imagination is perfectly fine in their opinion. We live in a culture where even the most basic distinctions will not be made for fear of offending someone. I can still hear the words of my kid's pre-school teacher, intoned when anyone in the class even performed miserably intentionally. A child could carelessly spit on a piece paper for his art project and she would say, "Good job!" H. G. Wells famously said, "If there is no God, nothing matters. If there is a God, nothing else matters." People live like there is no God and so to them nothing matters. But there is a God, and nothing else really matters. We are dancing on this earth for a very short time, and we will face Him. Jesus says, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (
