Matthew 7:13,14- “Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it.”
Hospice invited all of its volunteers to a celebration dinner last month. I looked at the address of the hotel on the envelope, clueless as to where it might be located.
I punched the address into my car’s navigation system and followed the highway from my home, past dozens of intersecting roads, and finally arrived at my destination.
Roads.
Paul was blinded on one.
Palm fronds lined the road as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.
The disciples saw Jesus on a road after His resurrection.
Zacchaeus climbed a tree in order to see Jesus when he traveled down a road.
The Bible tells us that broad is the road that leads to destruction and narrow is the road that leads into heaven.
Not as many travel on it.
It is easier to go the “way of the world” and follow after one’s own devices than it is to follow The Lord. For this reason, Jesus shows us the picture of masses traveling down a wide road—following each other to destruction instead of following The Lord through the Gateway to Life.
He encourages us to take the narrow road.
Just like Zacchaeus, Paul, Matthew and the other disciples.
Just like believers everywhere who long to spend an eternity in Heaven with Him.
