The Narrow & Wide Gates ~
How can two little verses pack such a punch? Look, there's A LOT out there - religions, entertainment, hobbies, activities. It's easy to get sucked into all this stuff. I myself am constantly saying how busy, busy, busy I am.
HOWEVER, eternity - that life that comes after this one - has only two options: God's way or man's way. As a culture full of options, we cry not fair! And that's why so many fail to find the path to God. We are looking at the world through spoiled brat goggles. I should get to pick, I should get to choose, I should be able to do what I want when I want. Well you do get to choose - you can choose God - the only way to eternal life. OR you can choose your way, whichever way you want your way to be & gain death. It's pretty simple.
Let's take off those spoiled-brat goggles & put on some corrective eye wear shall we? Instead of stamping your feet & screaming not fair, take a look at all that God has provided. Yes, the way is narrow - there is only one way, Jesus Christ. But, oh, that way brings joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, & self-control. Or you can spend your time doing things your way - how's that working out for you?
