TIM Good morning, I’m Tim Wise, Clergy for Senior Adults Ministry and Choir Director at Central. Matthew 7:13-14 says: Enter by the narrow gate. The gate that leads to destruction is wide and the way is easy. Those who enter through it are many. The gate that leads to life is narrow and the way is hard, and those who find it are few. Life is a journey with many paths. The difficult way is pleasing. It’s filled with things that we think are good for us, however, in the end it delivers nothing of lasting value. The other direction is narrow. It has a small entrance, because there is only one way to be reconciled to God—through faith in Christ. Traveling on this path requires a commitment to the Savior and a lifestyle of dependence, sacrifice, and trust. Reflect on whose path you are ultimately following. Is it the world’s path or is it God’s path for you? Each of us must choose which path to take: the wide one that ends in nothing of value or the narrow one leading to life everlasting. I pray you find yourself on the narrow path that leads to the loving arms of Jesus.
