Is the narrow way supposed to scare us?

In Matthew 7:13–14, Jesus says the gate is narrow, the road hard, and only a few find it.

For a lot of us, that sounds like a spiritual tightrope - one wrong step and we’re doomed to fail. In this episode, I explore why The Way seems scary, but is actually full of grace.

Topics:

• When Jesus keeps raising the bar
• Jesus as the gate and The Way
• “Pick Me!”
• Ask, seek, and knock
• My yoke is easy
• Why the path is not a tightrope
• The hard part: “few find it”
• Jesus promises that those who seek God find Him
• Hunger and thirst for righteousness - you will be filled

This episode is part of the “Scary Verses or Grace?” discussion of passages that sound scary at first, but surprisingly lead us toward grace as we grapple with them and seek the heart of Christ.
