The world's best road!.
Soul Snack 4/10 ... Highway to Heaven
In July 1979 Bon Scott released to the world his own anthem to death. AC/DC preached in lyrics from hell that there is a "Highway to hell".
A highway is usually an easy passage to a destination. AC/DC clearly indicated their desired destination.
Highways are both a path to adventure and the allure to enjoy an unknown place.
They can seduce with the offer of something superior at their end.
God too has built is His own highway. It reclaims arid places and graces barren grounds with fertility.
Unlike AC/Dc's road it is a place of safety, protection and joy. (Hmm.. that's a bit unusual for a highway.)
Not many will travel God's highway, it is the Highway of Holiness - its the Highway to Heaven.
And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it;
it will be for those who walk in that Way;
wicked fools will not go about on it. (Is 35:8)
The Highway of Holiness offers something that is superior now, even before I reach its end.
The Highway to Heaven begins in the world but it's end is out of the world.
