Chapters 55, 56, 57 of Skye Jethani’s “What If Jesus Was Serious”.

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. —Matthew 7:13-14

  • The wide and popular path, is more appealing but leads to destruction
  • The narrow and unpopular path, rejects selfishness, prestige and power and finds its motivation in servanthood and love
  • Scot McKnight writes “In essence, the narrow gate is to follow Jesus by learning to live by the Jesus Creed (Love God, Love others) and the golden rule (treat others in a way you want to be treated).”
  • What is attractive about the narrow path is who we find on it, a community of Jesus followers and Jesus himself
