Life
is termed a walk in the Scriptures. Where they say that we
ought to walk as Jesus walked, they have reference to our
manner of life. The way in which a Christian walks is
called the way of life. It is called the way of life
because it leads to a land of life a place where death
never enters, where all is life, and life forevermore. The
Christian walks in the way that leads to that land of
life. There is also a place of death, and the way there is
called the way of death.
The way along which the Christian
walks is a narrow way. "Strait is the gate and narrow
is the way, that leadeth unto life." But we need have
no fear; for although it is narrow, it is not dark.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my
path." I would rather walk in a narrow way in full
light than in a broad way in the dark. The Word of God
lights up the Christian's pathway. How beautifully the
electric lights light up the walks in the city park! There
is no danger of stumbling. The Bible is a light along the
way of life and it lights the way beautifully. Not one
step need be taken in the dark. There is light for every
step of the way. Sometimes the Christian may think he has
reached a dark place, but if he will open his Bible, he
will find a light to lighten that very spot.
