Two Ways

Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)

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. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

I.                   Introduction:

Two ways, but only one choice. Choose not the easiest or most expedient way, but the way that yields the desired eternal rewards.

II.               Exit The Broad Way: The Highway To Hell

A.                 There’s Room to Spare: A Great Highway

B.                 There’s Plenty of Company: A Great Crowd

C.                 There’s Death Ahead: A Great Disaster

III.            Enter The Narrow Way: The Path to Heaven

A.                 There’s Limited Access: Its confining

B.                 There’s Not Much Company: Its Unpopular

C.                 There’s Life Ahead: Its Worth It

IV.             Conclusion:

Death and Hell await those who take the road of least resistance. The way of the world is enticing, but that way leads to death. The way of Christ may be confining and unpopular, but that way leads to life. Do not choose on the basis of the journey, but on the basis of the destination. We may travel for a lifetime, but eternity hangs in the balance. Choose wisely.
