Think about that one. Unfortunately I did not hear the rest of the broadcast so I don't know where the commentators took this question. But I do find it an intriguing yet somewhat disturbing question.
Disturbing in the fact that it seems like in the Christian community we often are being onslaught with how far short we all fall. It seems as if the mainline Christian message too often is, "It is only through immense sacrifice and struggle and suffering that eternal life can be obtained!"
Was that Jesus' message? Is it next to impossible to qualify for salvation? Are most of us doomed to hell even though we go to church and try to be good? Is that what Christ meant in
Matthew 7:13
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.
I will attempt to answer these interesting questions this next Sunday. In the mean time draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
The path you are on right now may or may not be Gods will for your life. But the good news is, He knows exactly where you are and if you tune in to His Holy Spirit, He will tell you exactly how to get to the the road He wants you to be on. When you choose to accept God as your GPS you will never be lost!
See you soon, Love Pastor Kent
