All
highways lead us somewhere. What about this one? It leads
to the future and determines what we do today! If you died
today, what would happen to you? There's a lot of speculation
about that, isn't there?
The stops along this highway will
help us all think more about that question and they will
also point us to locations where the answers may be found.
But, why "The Highway?"
There is a book in the Bible called
Romans. It's called that because it was written to people
in Rome. In this book there are a series of verses that
have been called "Salvation's Highway" or the
"Roman Road." That's because these four verses
lead to eternal life.
All of us are born
dead in trespasses and sin.
God
demands a stiff penalty for any and all sin: eternal death!
The LORD Christ paid the penalty for sinners
through His death on the cross.
We
must confess that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him
from the dead.
So, where does this road take us?
The first three stops along the highway can be seen in our
rear view mirror -- they are all in the past. We have sinned.
God, being perfectly just and holy, demands that our sin
be punished. Yet, just as I could pay a speeding ticket
for you (don't hold your breath!), Jesus paid the price
for needy sinners.
There's one more stop along this highway:
belief. Maybe that part isn't so easy for you? Join the
crowd! It certainly took me a long time. But, is there any
greater question than where will your Journey
end?
