For many years living the Christian Walk seemed easy. In fact, I thought to myself, “I have God on my side, I can’t lose.” The problem with that belief was my thought that things would be easy. That just doing the little I was doing was enough. How far from the truth, I discovered that to be.
I find today a different but also more rewarding principle--the one Jesus talked about in Chapter 7 "entering through the narrow gate." I have discovered that life is difficult, that there are obstacles in my path and that Satan is trying to block me in every direction.
Jesus’ words at this point show us the path to follow--not just what but HOW to follow in becoming one of His.
There are three defining ideas.
1. The gate is narrow. If it looks wide, you might be at the wrong gate.
2. The way is hard. If it looks easy, you might be on the wrong way.
3. Few will find it. If everyone is doing it, you might not be in the right group.
Things to think about today.
