Most people think of Thomas Edison as an immediate success. However, what many don’t realize is that some of his experiments didn’t work... in fact they failed hundreds of times. As he struggled to perfect the storage battery... a friend sympathized with him over his failures. Edison said, 'But I haven't failed. I've found 10 thousand ways that don't work!”
10,000 may seem like an incredibly large number of attempts... but so many do the exact same thing with their eternity. They try to be good people... and that doesn’t work. They give money... and that’s not it. They make deals with God... and that doesn’t do it. They follow rules... and that doesn’t get them there. So how can someone get to Heaven? Jesus made it clear in John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Why waste your life trying 10,000 ways that won’t work... Follow the One Way that does... Allow Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior... it’s the most important decision you’ll ever make.
