Monday, October 13, 2014 Good morning, Read: Matthew 7:13-14 ONLY ONE WAY TO LIFE If you want to find life, not heaven but here and now, you must find it through a narrow gate of self-renunciation. This is true in every realm of life. The athlete who puts himself under a stricter and stricter regime of training denies himself what others feel free to indulge in; he finds physical life and freedom, for he enters by the narrow door. The student who burns the midnight oil gathers up spare moments and denies himself many things, but finds himself to be free at last. Jesus says we actually travel only one of two roads: a broad one, travelled by many, and a narrow one travelled by only a few. The two roads lead to only one of two destinations - destruction or life. The great mass of humanity is rushing headlong along the broader path. If you look closely, their footprints can be easily seen. The footprints of Jesus and His followers, however, are found on the narrow road – the one chosen by only a few. Will we choose to be one of those few? Prayer: Lord Jesus, teach us to choose the narrow way to plant our footprints in your own-AMEN.
