13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
We’ve all heard it: “Many roads lead to God”.
Really?
In fact, in John 16:6 Jesus says “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”.
The notion of many wide gates is appealing. It gives us a voice (choice) in the whole thing. It’s a nice socially correct message. Our neighbors will love us for it right up until they are held accountable for their own faith.
Lest we smugly say “amen”, as though we have some presumed privilege to that narrow road and small gate, I suggest that we pray daily with a humble heart “Lord, show me your way”.
Live boldly out there today…
