Scripture

King James Version Chapter 7

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Explanations

Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in threat:

We said earlier that their are two choices in Life.

My last message we talked about the camel passing thru the eye of a needle.

We also discussed the meaning of the big gate and the little gate. Refresher, the big gate was used for livestock and horse and buggy to enter during the day. It also allowed for general traffic but was closed at night to keep opportunity of the city being taken by the enemy.

We also discussed Them using the small gate on the side that could only fit a person. This gate limits what can get into the city.

When taught, we sometimes uses man at a crossroad in his life. Where he needs to decide which way to turn. What road to take.

Enter ye in at the straight gate: There is only one gate at this entrance. Bring it back, At birth, we enter into only this world, the earth.

for wide is the gate, and broad is the way: The world prevents many options with many people doing different things. There are many religions, traditions, and options.

that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: All of these choices have different paths. Most paths leads to destruction, or at the very least hurt and pain.

We start out with only one view, the view that the world has given you. You know the one, you can be anything you wanna be. Life has no limits on you. The world is your oyster. and so on.

The world is the wide gate. It doesn’t discriminate by race, riches, or relationships.
