Are you walking on the Train Tracks?

There was a man who was walking in the countryside enjoying all that was around him. The sun was shining and all seemed well.

Another man who was walking along a path that looked too narrow called out to him. “Don’t you know that you are walking along the train tracks and a train will come along behind you and cause you great pain and suffering if you don’t move off of the tracks? Come and walk with me on this path up here, it’s much safer.”

The man who was walking along the tracks just looked around and replied “I’m sorry my friend but you seem to be mistaken. There are no tracks here and the going looks to be easier here than where you are on that narrow path. I’ll just carry on along this path if it’s all the same to you.”

The thing is the man was walking along the train tracks even though he couldn’t see it.
A train was sure to come along at some point. It might be a short wait or a long wait for the train, but it would come and at that time, if the man was still on the train tracks then he would be run over, crushed and broken by the train.
His only hope to not be hit by the train is to move onto the path that looked narrow.

The above is a picture that shows what Christians believe in regards to heaven and hell.
One is the narrow path, which leads to heaven, and the other is the wide path that leads to hell.
The narrow path is to accept and follow Jesus where as the wide path is to follow your our ways.

Christians believe that God is real and so is heaven and hell and when they try to talk to you about these things, all they are desperately trying to say is.
“There is a train coming along and I don’t want to see you get hurt by it, so won’t you please come and join me up here on the narrow path with Jesus, where it’s safe away from the train.”

Matthew 7 vs 13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
