Scripture (KJV) – Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Reflection
Jesus makes it clear—there are only two paths in life: the broad way and the narrow way. The broad way is easy, popular, and accepted by the world. It requires no commitment, no sacrifice, and no surrender. But it leads to destruction.
The narrow way, on the other hand, is not easy. It requires faith, obedience, and a willingness to follow Christ even when it goes against the crowd. It means turning from sin, standing on truth, and living a life set apart for God. That’s why Jesus said “few there be that find it.”
Following the narrow way means choosing eternal life over temporary comfort. It means trusting God’s truth over the world’s opinions. It means walking by faith, even when the path feels difficult or lonely.
But here is the hope—the narrow way leads to life. Not just life in eternity, but a life of purpose, peace, and relationship with God right now. While the world may walk the broad road, you are called to walk a different path—one that leads to everlasting life.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for showing me the way that leads to life. Help me to choose the narrow path, even when it is difficult and unpopular. Give me the strength to stand firm in Your truth and the courage to follow You fully. Guard my heart from being drawn to the things of this world, and keep my focus on You. Lead me each day in Your way, and help me to walk faithfully until the end.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
