A missionary told an old Indian chief about Jesus Christ, describing him as God’s only way to heaven. “The Jesus road is a good road,” the aged chief agreed. “But I have followed the Indian road all my life, and I cannot change now.” A year later, he lay in his hut, deathly sick. The missionary hurried to his side and once more told him of Christ. “Can I turn to Jesus now?” the dying chief asked. “My own road stops here. It has no way through the valley!”

Every road that a man walks in life ends at the grave. The roads of religion, fame, wealth, and success can never take you through the valley of the shadow of death. Only Christ can do that! And he will if you will but trust him.
