El-Alamein ( Matthew 7 v 13 - 14 )

In 1942 a battle took place in Egypt ,between the British Empires army and the Axis forces,made up of German and Italians,it is known as the the 2nd battle of EL - Alamein.  It began on the 23rd October, and ended on the 11th of November, the Axis commander was Rommel, known as the desert fox, the British commander was Montgomery.One of the ways the Axis forces sought to hinder the British was by laying half a million mines.It did hinder them, but it did not stop them. It was a narrow pathway and kept one safe from the mines. In Matthew 7 v  13 - 14, our Saviour spoke of two ways in life ,a broad road and a narrow road,he said that the broad leads to destruction,and that many are on it.the narrow road would lead to life,he said not many travel on that road. I wonder what path you are on?,the broad road with its dreadful end, in hell,or the narrow road with its wonderful end,heaven. That pathway through the minefield  cost lives in the making,as they came under enemy fire ,so it is ,that the pathway to heaven that God has made,was won at a tremendous cost,the death of Jesus on a cross,it cost him everything,why did he do it? because of his great love for people like you and me.'There's a way back to God from the dark paths of sin,there's a door that is open ,and you may go in,Calvary's cross is were you begin as you come as a sinner to Jesus'.
