Two Ways

TWO WAYS       < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Matthew 7:13-23

 

There are two ways to go in this life. One is the way of God, and the other is the way of the world. It is not possible to walk both ways at the same time and get through. In life, it is either you walk in the way of God or the way of the world. Knowing God as a true and merciful God, He will not force or push any of His creation to a particular direction which way to take. However, He will do all that it takes for His creation to enter the way of life everlasting. All of His creation has that choice to make in regard to entering the right way. The command is the LordÕs and the choice is ours. Jesus commanded in Matthew 7: 13, ÒEnter by the narrow gate; for wide is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 ÒBecause narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.Ó There is no need for any further interpretation neither is there a need for expounding the word of Jesus. The message here is clear and sound, take the wide gate and broad way and settle for destruction or take the narrow and difficult gate and end up with everlasting life. Which way are you taking? Have you considered or thought about the way you are taking? Is it a popular way like the one every man is taking? If it is that popular with no challenges, it is time for you to challenge yourself by searching for the truth in regard to the direction you are taking because you might have entered the narrow way. The way which every man is running away from, the way that you have entered, through the narrow gate, the way that is unusually different from the popular and smooth is the way you want to consider. Psalm 103:7, He made His ways unto Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.Ó The way of the wilderness is the unpopular way, it is the uncomfortable way, and it is the difficult way. The way of the wilderness is the way that the Lord chose to take the children of Israel through because it was and is the one that leads to life. Among the children of Israel, Every man and woman that attempted to look outside of the way of the wilderness by constantly looking back to Egypt ended up complaining and could not get through to the life that is promised in the narrow way and difficult way.
