ONE OF TWO

ONE OF TWO

If you will open your bible and begin with the twentieth verse of the seventh chapter of Matthew and read the remainder of the chapter, you will learn that you are one of two sets travelers, one of two trees, one of two kinds of builders.

All men are travelers. Of these travelers there are two divisions. You and I are in one or the other of these two divisions. There are two gates, and only two. There are only two ways, and there are only two destinies. You have entered one of these gates, you are one of these ways, and you are going to one of two destinies.

All men are trees, all are bearing fruit. Of these trees there are two and only two kinds. You and I are one or the other of these two kinds. There are two kinds of trees, two kind of fruit, two kinds of harvests. You are one kind of these kinds of trees. You are bearing one of two kinds of fruit. You are going to reap one of two kinds of harvests which shall it be?

All men are builders. Of these builders there are two and only two sets. You and I are among one or the other of these two sets of builders. These are two and only two foundations on which they are building. These are two and only two foundations on which they are building. These are two and only two results.

You may say that you are not a traveler. But you are a traveler every moment of your life, and the way in which you are traveling will decide what your destiny shall be.

You may ay you are not bearing fruit. But you are bearing fruit everyday of your life, and the kind of fruit that you are bearing fruit everyday of your life, and the kind of fruit you are bearing determines what your harvest will be.

You may say you are not building. But you are building everyday you live, and you are building on one of two foundations, and this determines what will be the result when the end comes.

Those that hear the sayings of Jesus and do these are in the way that leads to life, and bearing the good fruit, and are building n the sure foundation.

Those who hear the sayings of Jesus and do them not are on the broad way, are bearing evil fruit, and are building on the sandy foundation. He that hath ears to hear let him hear.”
