The Way to Heaven

“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. “For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.” Matthew 7:13,14

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.” Matthew 7:24

Anglican Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, son of the great reformer William Wilberforce, was noted for his witty responses. Once, he was accosted at a railway station by a man who said he thought he could put to him a question he would be puzzled to answer.

Bishop Wilberforce asked what it was.
“Which is the nearest way to heaven?” said the man.

“Oh, that’s quite easy,” said the bishop, “any child knows that. I learned it when I was a boy at Sunday school. You just take the first turning to the RIGHT, and keep straight on.”
