The Narrow and Wide Gates (Matt 7:13-14)

Pastor Curtis BakerBy: Curtis Baker

This week we enter the final turn in our study of the Sermon on the Mount. The bulk of Jesus’ ethical teaching on what a “blessed” life in the Kingdom of God looks like is largely finished. In many ways, looking back on it, when one considers all that Jesus has asked of us in this sermon, it can be quite intimidating. Just the teachings on loving one’s enemies and putting worry out of our life are hard enough by themselves, much less everything else that Jesus has taught us in these three chapters. But Jesus has not taught us these things in order to give us anxiety. He knows how far his teaching is from the reality of our life, but he also knows what a truly blessed life is available to us if only we will become his students and begin to learn this way of life with him. That is why, in the final verses of the Sermon, Jesus gives his audience four pictures to help us understand.

The first picture Jesus presents is probably the most intimidating of the four. Here he explains that all who would seek to have this blessed life must enter in through a narrow gate. Unfortunately, the gate that leads to destruction is very wide, and most people enter right through it. But Jesus claims that only a few, relative to the number of all who had the potential, will enter in through the narrow gate.
