This lesson speaks to the heart: it is taken from the Book of Psalms and from the lyrics to a song by Tom Kimmel. The title says it all: \\u201cNo One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind.\\u201d

\\n

\\u201cHow many say of me, \\u2018God will not save that one,\\u2019 But you, LORD, are a shield around me; my glory, you keep my head high\\u201d (Ps. 3).

\\n

\\u201cNo one gets to heaven if anybody else is left behind.\\u201d

\\n

\\u201cYou, LORD, give light to my lamp; my God brightens the darkness about me\\u201d (Ps.18).

\\n

\\u201cThere is a light when we need it the most.\\u201d

\\n

\\u201cYou will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever\\u201d (Ps. 16).

\\n

\\u201cThere is a way through this world if we keep this in mind . . . .\\u201d

\\n

\\u201cSome had lost their way in a barren desert; found no path . . . . In their distress they cried to the LORD, who rescued them in their peril, guided them by a direct path\\u201d (Ps.107).

\\n

\\u201cNo one gets to heaven if any body else is left behind.\\u201d
