The Cross Leads Home
A policeman found a young boy crying his heart out on a street corner where he was stationed.
"What's wrong boy?" he queried. "I am lost! I can't find my way back home!" the boy replied whining.
Further questions proved useless because the young fella couldn't give any specific familiar landmark as to the location of his home. The policeman was in a quandary as to what he was going to do.
"Okay, what if I would convey you to that spot over there where a building stands tall, would you be able to find your way home?" The boy cried even more.
"Okay, what about that area over there covered with a lot of grass, would you find your way home from there?" This time the boy wailed loudly.
"Okay, what about that spot further away from the grassy area, where a big cross is, would you find your way home from there?" The boy stopped rubbing his eyes, looked up and enthusiastically nodded his head. And so, off they went to the spot and the boy ran back home.
Spiritually speaking, we are all lost and can't find our way back to God. But if we go by the way of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, there, we will be reconciled back to God. The cross leads home.
