the spiritual crossroad

hey y’all , it’s gabi here ! tonight i wanted to share matthew 7 with you guys , specifically verses 13-14 . matthew is my favorite book out of the 4 gospels , it just stuck with me for some reason lol . but these verses are towards the end of the sermon on the mount , and Jesus talks about the two gates . the way i see it , these two gates are at a spiritual crossroad , where YOU make the decision . i think that is really important to think about , at the end of the day following Christ is a decision . It is the most important decision you will ever make . Christ makes sure you know that deciding to follow Him won’t be all sunshine and rainbows , and deciding to follow Him won’t be the popular decision and many people will choose the “wide gate “ , and that is still so true to this day . following Christ in this difficult world isn’t always easy , and you really have to stay true to your values and keep your eyes on Jesus . but the good news is , it will all be worth it in the end . as difficult as the road may be , Jesus is the only way to life . as Robert Frost says “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.”
