Jesus calls us to enter through the narrow gate, reminding us that the broad road leads to destruction, but the narrow way leads to life. Following Him means making intentional choices, even when they are difficult or unpopular. With God’s wisdom and grace, we can choose daily to walk in His way. Message based on Matthew 7:13-14.
Quotes:
Robert Frost: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth;
Cleavon Matthews: Great multitudes will follow as long as there is no price to be paid, no contract to sign, no commands to obey, no orders to follow, no sacrifices to surrender, no gifts to offer, no commitments to keep, no burdens to bear, no suffering to share, no hardships to handle, no effort to exert, no pills to swallow, no limitations to learn, no scriptures to study, no worship services to attend, no prayers to pray, no cooperation to communicate, no battles to fight, no pledges to promise, no covenants to keep, and no standard to uphold.
Duane Brooks: We can look for the convenient way. We can look for the crowded way. But what if we look for Christ who is the way.
