WALKING THE HEAVENLY ROAD BEGINS WITH ENTERING THE GATE
by LilacladyJunebug2
IT TAKES A GATE TO ENTER
Matthew 7. 12 - 14 Therefore whatsoever you would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 4.23 -25. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them all.
Matthew 5.1-2a And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, the disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth, and taught them"
Let's think ! about it.
Everyone that came to Him has been healed.
Would you ready to L I S T E N ? if you were healed?
He tells them who is blessed 5.1 - 12
poor in spirit
those who mourn
those who are meek
those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
those who are merciful
those who are pure in heart
those who make peace
those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake
Matthew 5.12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad
for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted
they the prophets which were before you.
As the Hollyhock is named Althea - and stands
for honesty, and truth,
so too, Jesus gives us a way to view
ourselves and others,
and how to
ENTER THE GATE
WHICH LEADS TO HEAVEN.
Matthew 5.16
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
He goes on to say that He is the One who
came to fulfill the Law, not to destroy it.
Matthew 5.17,18
Think not that I am come to destroy
the law, or the prophets: I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfill: for
verily (Amen) I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth be passed,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
In His message to us, He today is saying
still, Blessed are those who choose to
enter the Strait Gate and walk the narrow way,
instead of entering the Broad and Wide Gate
which leads to Destruction.
I speak to you today, as God would have me
speak.
Jesus gave us all that we need to find
ETERNAL LIFE
and He has made it plain
WE MUST ENTER THE GATE THAT IS STRAIT
AND NARROW
THE ROAD
IS NARROW ALSO
When a person drives a car, he needs
to know where he is going in order
to get there.
Jesus has given us not only His words,
but He said BEFORE it happened,
that He would go to the Cross, suffer,
and die, and be raised again.
He told them, and His Word has been
recorded for us so that we may know
and understand JUST WHO AND WHAT
HE WANTED US TO BE....
