“Enter through the
narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to
destruction, and there are many who enter through it. “For the gate is small
and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matt.
7:13-14
Are you
narrow-minded? The title is actually
more of a comical way to say “Have you set off on the narrow way of following
Jesus?” The truth is I am not talking
solely about being called closed minded.
I am talking about the status of your relationship with Jesus
Christ. Perhaps you’ve been going to
church all of your life, perhaps you are neither here nor there, or perhaps you
are totally against the idea of having a life changing relationship with Jesus. Jesus is making a divide here and now
though. He wants us to see that the
Christian life is a different life from non-Christians. He is saying that those who want to follow
him are going to have to be dedicated and wholly divided unto him and his
teaching. The broad way has many
followers, many options, many gods, and many ways of living that ALL lead to
self-destruction. Jesus commands us to
live one way and that way is only found in his true teaching of the Bible. He is patient and awaits your choice.
Holy Spirit, please guide us down the narrow path of Jesus and
invite others to join us on the way.
