Enter through the narrow gate….that leads to life and there are few who find it.

The way that is broad is easy, attractive, inclusive, permissive and self-oriented way of the world. It has few rules, few restrictions and few requirements. All you need to do is profess Jesus or at least seem religious and you’ll be accepted into the group.

The narrow way is the hard and demanding way – the way of self-denial and the cross. When Jesus was asked,”Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” He replied, “Strive to enter though the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Lk 13 : 23 – 24).The Greek word for strive indicates that entering the door to God’s kingdom takes conscious, purposeful and intense effort.

The narrow way is for those who wants God’s kingdom at any cost. Make sure that you are following Christ as Lord along that narrow way. We certainly live amid a “broad way” mentality but Christ has shown us otherwise that we should live on His Word and ways.

We thank Thee, O blessed Master,that Thou hast forgiven us our sins and has made us Thine forever through your precious blood. Amen.
