“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
Matthew 7:13-14 NLT
If it is good enough for Jesus to address this matter, it is good enough for me. It is a warning. We must consider our ways.
When the media waxes eloquently about someone dying and now being reunited with their family, this may be all emotional clap trap. They may find themselves in hell, and far away from people they loved, or equally caught with them in torment.
This emotional rubbish that so clutters our lives has to be faced with the truth. The way to life is narrow and few find it. Jesus said that the road to life is difficult. Perhaps this is why people refuse to go that way.
We must keep in mind Jesus' parables about the seed and the soil, about finding the kingdom and selling all to buy it. We must have ears to hear. Amen!
