Why is the way Narrow?


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Why is the way narrow?

Because those who have entered the narrow gate find their path constricted.
They no longer have all the choices to do what they used to do. Now, Jesus is Lord. He calls the shots in their life. He is their Master.

They must do Christ’s will, not their own. The way of life of a Christian is different from the way of life of a non-Christian. A non-believer can choose many different options in life; a Christian can’t. If Jesus is truly His Lord, he must seek to do His will. He doesn’t have the option of living with his girlfriend or boyfriend, or having an affair, or living a homosexual lifestyle, or swindling from his company or abusing drugs or alcohol. He no longer has the option of getting a divorce if he doesn’t feel “in love” any longer.

His way is narrow! You see a true Christian seeks to live a holy life. Without the pursuit of holiness no man shall see the Lord
(Heb. 12:14).

You can know if you’ve entered the narrow gate by examining what kind of path you are on. Is it narrow or wide?
Are there a few people on this path, or many? Do you live like most other people around you, or are you different? Do others take notice that you live for Jesus, His will, His values, and His glory? Do you blend in and look like everyone else, or do you reflect the character and teachings of Jesus?

LET US PRAY
LORD JESUS CHRIST, PUT MY FIT ON THE NARROW WAY AND LEAD ME RIGHT IN JESUS NAME.
