14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
There are lot of simple statements of truth to hold onto in this chapter like ask, seek, knock and getting the plank out of my own eye. I chose this verse because it reminds me that Jesus is the only way to heaven. In today's society this is definitely not the PC thing to say but I need to remember it everyday and make sure my kids know it as well.
short and sweet today, getting back on the horse after the new year. its time to ride.

Lots of good rules to live by in this one. In the verse you copied, it says "only few find it". I think that is something to really think about. Some people aren't looking for the right direction and could care less. But, this implies that some are looking for it and won't find it. But, in the verse above it, it says, "seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." A bit of a mixed message, if I'm to read it correctly.
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals for the year is to really look at what we are reading, and ponder it as if I've never read it before. Like a person who is reading it for the first time. I think there's lots of nuggets that I gloss over.
Boom! there it is!
