The Easy Road

Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road easy that leads to destruction. Matt 7:13

As I received communion, I pondered this, and was disturbed. “Lord, let no one walk this wide path to hell, but, please, guide all to the eternity you prepare for us, you PROMISED for us.”

Then I saw this truth. The path to heaven is narrow, but there are no limits on how many may pass. I just assumed a limit. It’s a narrow path, so we need to tread slowly and carefully, but many can walk this path. (Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Phil 2:12) In fact, if we all hold on to each other’s hands, being responsible for helping one another, the path really is safe. And easy. And together we can find joy in the journey.

Together.

And if we still feel weak, and look down at the deep caverns below us, and litterly become too terrified to move, all we need to do is call out. The one who told us to follow this path, and said: “Trust me”, won’t abandon us. He himself will take our hand and lead us safely.

“The more we confidently entrust the future to God, without trying know it or master it, the more secure and peaceful we are.” - Called To Life (p15) by Jacques Philippe
