The Narrow Path is narrow because there is only one way, Jesus.

Follow Him and it leads to Heaven.

Look at the alternatives they all come down to works. Make sure to do this, do that, follow this, follow that. And if you are good enough you may get into paradise.

Confusion, anxiety, depression and overall pain come on this path.

That path may seem broad with more opportunity but in reality that path is on shaky ground filled with bumps, holes, entrapments and along the way many, many snakes.

But God offers the narrow path, the straight path right to Him. Just follow the Lord.

If you went hiking and there were two paths one was narrow and led straight to where you were going and the other was filled with rough terrain where you had to find your way all on your own which would you chose?

Staying on the Narrow Path

Matthew 7:13-14 (ESV)
13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

That verse may scare some because they’re afraid of falling away from God. They’re afraid it is not possible but remember Jesus’ answer from last week about how someone can be saved. He said…

Matthew 19:26, “26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

So with God your salvation that seems impossible to obtain is possible and ONLY possible through Christ Jesus.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be times where you stumble or even fall completely of the path.

Just remember if you do fall off you don’t have to start back at the beginning.

Allow Jesus to pull you back up. You are never too far out of his reach.

A lot of times people say, “Don’t look back”.

But on the Narrow Path, go ahead look back and see the progress you made.

See where you used to be before you started your walk with God. See the differences in your life.

Then keep going forward and let the Holy Spirit guide you to keep you from falling.

Let Him steady you.

And remember Jesus is the way.

Have a Blessed Week,
Chris
