Part 11 | The Narrow Gate

In our passage this coming Sunday Jesus uses several strong images to teach a distressing reality: Our lives lead somewhere; and that ultimate somewhere is before the judgment seat of Christ. There we will be either welcomed by Jesus, or sent away. Jesus teaches that it comes down to our choice in this life of one of two paths; his narrow, hard path or, the wide, easy path which most choose. Let's look again at our choice of gate and pathway and how we might be assured that we will be known by Jesus on that judgment day.
