Short But Not Easy

 

Matthew 7:12-14

¹² So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates

¹³ “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ¹⁴ But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Three short verses, but a lifetime challenge.No wonder Jesus described it as a small gate and narrow road, that escapes most of us. Even if we just concentrated on verse 12, how much better would our family, community, and world be?  If three people, or even two, could see eye to eye, and treat each other as they would treat themselves, imagine what life would be like: the media filled with stories of good deeds, of neighbor helping neighbor, of people gladly giving of themselves and of their means to help the less fortunate  The list goes on and on. Yes, the "golden road" is the one less traveled, but the one that leads to life. Why don't we all resolve to start or keep walking it today?
