    Enter the Narrow Gate

    Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

    Matthew 7:13-14

    Near the close of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reduces every life to two roads, and refuses to flatter the odds: the easy way is crowded, the hard way is found by few.

    The gates are defined by their destinations, not their difficulty. Wide and easy leads to destruction precisely because it requires no decision; you can drift through it. The narrow gate must be found and chosen, one traveler at a time, and it is narrow like a doorway is narrow: you enter it without your baggage.

    Check your navigation method: if your main guide is what most people around you are doing, you are on the wide road by default. Choose the harder right over the easier wrong once today, on purpose.
