The Cross Roads

 Matthew 7:14  

"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which 

leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." 

    Christ came to teach us, not only what we are to know and believe, but what we are to do; not only toward God, but toward men; not only toward those of our party and persuasion, but toward men in general; However,  As my wife reminded me this morning while watching Fox News, we all seem to forget at times in our lives that we should pray for all people no matter what party or persuasion. 

   There are two ways right and wrong, good and evil; the way to heaven and the way to hell; there is no other way but walking: there is no middle place hereafter, no middle way now. You are saints or sinners, godly or ungodly. Now concerning the way of sin and sinners, that gate is strait and wide, and stands open and it leads to destruction. Now concerning saints, "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it." 

   The way to eternal life is narrow. We are not in heaven as soon as we get through the strait gate. Self must be denied, the body (The Temple kept Holy) and corruptions mortified. Daily temptations must be resisted; duties must be done. We must watch in all things, and walk with care; and we must go through some tribulation. 

   My Friends, This way should invite us all; it leads to life, to present comfort in the favor of God, which is the life of the soul. It's Eternal blessedness, for the hope of which at the end of our walk, should make all the difficulties of the road we chose. 

Amen!
