..."Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way whch leads to life, and there are few who find it." [Matthew 7:13-14. N.K.J.V.]
Throughout the world there are Increasing networks of Motorways, enabling the majority of vehicles to make their journeys with relative ease and convenience, as well as saving time, & fuel... compared to former routes...
.HOWEVER..........................
What Is Jesus saying here ?...most people seek ease and convenience in their lives, as wel as wanting everything immediately.........
.'hence the 'Instant coffee generation' ...!!!!
The few who are going to get to heaven, however,... have committed themselves to becoming disciples... who are ready, willing, and able, to cope with ...
1. LACK of ease....as well as .
2. Inconvenience...and ...
3. they are prepared to wait on The Lord's timing ...knowing that ...'All things work together for good ...'[Romans 8:28].
WHY....................?????????
BECAUSE....THEY KNOW...THAT GOD'S WILL MUST BE DONE IN GOD'S WAY....AND GOD'S TIME...!!!
The choice Is clear to all.........broad...with "the crowds ".... or narrow... with "the few".....
Trust in The One Who Knows the end from the beginning...because HE...JESUS...Is The Way......AND HE IS ALWAYS AND FOREVER..... ON T I M E !!!
May The Lord Bless you.
