Albert Einstein said, ‘There are *only two ways to live your life*. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.’ Jesus himself said that – ultimately – there are only two ways to live: there are two paths; there are two gates; there are two destinations and there are two groups of people (see Matthew 7:13–14). In the passages for today we see starkly contrasting ways of life.
