Robert Frost wrote a poem about two roads that diverged in a yellow wood. His poem reflects the same principle established by Jesus himself in Matthew 7. Christ encourages taking the narrow or less-traveled path.
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matt. 7:13-14)
For Jesus Christ, Messiah, the road He was called to travel was one that only He could walk—the road to redemption.
And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. (Heb. 10:10-14)
Jesus was the perfect sacrifice that allowed us to be redeemed—bought back by His blood.
