The Wide and Narrow Roads of Life | Biblical Context Explained

Jesus used the metaphor of wide and narrow roads to help His disciples understand just how difficult a believer’s life could be (Matthew 7:13-14). In Bible times, people walked a lot more than we do today, so it was an easily understood lesson. Today, we tend to picture our roads as wide and paved with plenty of space for travel. Jack Beck takes us to the outskirts of Jerusalem to visually demonstrate how a road may have looked and explain how the spiritual roads we walk can have dire consequences.

Enter through the narrow gate.(A) For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Lord helps us to walk in the road that leads to You.🙏💕✝️🙏💕✝️🙏💕✝️

Just like my boyfriend and me. We walked along and wherever we go, Jesus and his father of god will reveal to us both so we can be safe and sound

[@juliuss155]

Amen. ❤️🙏 Glory to God! As it is written, Be free but do not use freedom as pretext for evil but as slaves of Christ Jesus. It is even furthered, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.

@@ourdailybread Thank you for this metaphor, and this encouraging word for today. I needed this. And I enjoyed the walk along going up to Yerushalaim.My one day in my future home with my Lord And Saviour, Yeshua Hamessiach. And won't we all be so blessed to see our Lord and Saviour face to face!

The way God has used you to retrace the Message in the Holy Land makes us understand the Christ's Word-200 theological degrees would not suffice-now Christ's Message and Parables become clearer -God Bless your ministry.
