Bible Commentary

Matthew 7:13

Following Jesus is not the easy, popular path. The wide road is comfortable and crowded, but it leads away from God. The narrow way requires intention and commitment.

Memory phrase: Choose the narrow gate

Talk about it: Can you think of a time when the right thing to do was harder than the easy thing?

Prayer: God, help me choose the right path even when it is not the popular one. Help me follow Jesus.
