The Narrow Gate







Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way 
that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Matthew 7:13


I love this painting. I used to have a poster of it on my wall. Notice there is no middle road. We all come to a crossroads at some point in our life and must choose which path to take. If we choose not to follow God, the only other path is Satan's way to destruction. Yes, the gate God invites us to follow is  narrow, but Jesus paid for it with His life, took our sins upon Himself, and took our place on the cross. He provided the only way through this gate. We are not forced to go through it, but lovingly invited to. 


Hoping for all to choose the path paved by love,
Dianne
