The Lord knew that the crowd would be on the BROAD way....The other way is strait and narrow; it leads to life; and few find it. The strait way takes making a choice to enter; since it is narrow, everyone will not get in; for carelessly walking through life will not get you through this gate. We must make a choice to enter the narrow passage way. It leads to LIFE and TRUTH – This is one of the main reasons that worldly people avoid this gate; they like their freedom to fulfill their fleshly passions unhindered, and they know they will have to submit to Godly living if they enter the strait gate.
Unlike the horrible destination of the wide gate (that the crowd follows), the narrow way leads to eternal life. Few find it – This means that one must strive to enter this gate’s passage way, and as I said before, personally choose to go in. Sadly, few care to look for it. A false messenger will deliver a message whose purpose is to feed himself at the expense of the sheep, just like the wolf that represents him. Beware of him....What appears righteous to those who judge only by the external expression of righteousness, without the inward righteousness of salvation as the basis, is not righteousness after all.
