Two Ways

There are Two Ways to Live and Two Ways to Die!

  Many people will recall the 1990 movie "Dances With Wolves." It was a Kevin Costner film based upon a story about an army lieutenant who arrives at a destroyed army camp and sets up his post in Indian territory. 

 In the setting, Costner as Lieutenant Dunbar observes a wild coyote that constantly appears on a hill at his outpost scrounging around for food. Lt. Dunbar observed that this coyote has two white paws. He names this coyote "Two Socks."

  Two Socks would daily creep to camp looking for food. Lt Dunbar would tease Two Socks with food, trying to gain his trust, but Ole Two Socks would have none of his entreat.

  The name "Two Socks" stuck in my mind, and over time I concocted the following analogy.

There are Two Ways to live! One way is to live a life that is Right before the Lord! The other way is to live a life that is right to man.

(Proverbs 16:25 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.)

There are also Two Ways to Die. One way is a way that offers Hope! The other way is a way that offers No Hope!

The Way of Hope is Jesus! He offers you the hope of Heaven & the Hope of Eternal Life! Faith in him turns your Hope into absolute Assurance!

The Way of Man (the worldly way or your own way) offers you NO HOPE! No hope of heaven, no hope of eternal life, and with the risk that there really is a Hell to shun!

How do you want to live? How do you want to die?

Are you, like ole Two Socks scrounging around for Hope, and a reason to live?

Romans 8:24 For we are saved by Hope: (faith in Jesus)
