Withstanding the Pressure of Being a Christian

Withstanding the Pressure of Being a Christian

Matthew 7:13-14

“13. "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. 14. "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”    In these verses we find Jesus basically divides the world into two categories.  There is a broad way, or path and there is a narrow way and you're on one of these two ways.  Make no mistake about it.   Everybody on the face of the earth falls into one of these two categories.  

There are two ways; there is the broad way and the broad way that leads to destruction.

He states in the reality of the world there will be many that go this way.    The truth of the matter is the vast majority of mankind has always traveled the broad way that leads to destruction.

Then He tells us about another way.   Jesus says it's a narrow way.  It's a difficult way but this narrow, difficult way leads to eternal life.  In describing this narrow, difficult way, He says there are few that find it.
