Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Matthew 7:13-29
Several years ago, a man boarded a bus in New York City with the clear intention of going to Detroit. However, when he had finished his long journey and stepped from the bus, he found himself not in Detroit but in Kansas City.
When he landed in Kansas City he had a hard time believing he was not in Detroit. He stepped from the bus and asked the way to Woodward Avenue. When he was told there was no Woodward Avenue he grew angry. Only after some time did it sink in that despite his intentions, he was not in Detroit. He had taken the wrong bus.1
