The Narrow Gate
The Gate is Narrow
leads means: to stretch out over a distance, space, time, or scope; run or extend between two points or beyond a certain point.
Destruction: Damage something to such an extent that it no longer works
Life: Heaven - exuberant liveliness -
The images of the gate and of the way appear together without any connection; the concluding clause of v. 13* refers to the gate, while it is not clear to what the concluding clause of v. 14* refers.3
It is uncertain how gate and way belong together.
Is the gate an entry to a particular way?4
The order in which the images appear would suggest as much.
Or does the gate stand at the end of the way as the gateway to life?5 The parallel motifs would speak for this possibility.
Or are the gate and way synonyms?6
False Prophets
Watch out: “Beware” be cautious, be on the alert -
Outward appearances are deceiving
You have to recognize the fruit
Do the Father’s Will
Did we not prophesy in your name
drive out demons in your name
perform miracles in your name
Yet, Jesus tells us plainly “I never knew you.”
Evil doers: the practice (habitual) act of lawlessness
Build on the rock
