Did you know that everyone is traveling the pathway of "LIFE"? These matches remind us of people. They are on the pathway of "LIFE." (Place the black magnet behind the paper, and pull four of the matches to the two gates.)
People come to the place where they realize that they must accept Christ, or the world. Satan seeks to influence them to take the way o£ the world, which is the broad way leading to destruction. These four matches reject Christ, and go on in the broad way. The way gets blacker and blacker, but they are pulled downward by an unseen power. The door to "Hell" opens, and they now see the black magnet which has been pulling them all the way.
Christ realized this truth, and He said, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" (Matt. 7:13). These two matches are like people who hear and heed the words of Christ. Coming to the crossroads, they accept Christ, and walk the strait and narrow way to heaven. As they near the city, the door opens, and they see the white magnet which has been drawing them upward. Each one needs to receive Christ, refuse the way of the world, resist Satan, and walk the strait and narrow way to heaven.
