In Matt. 7:13-20, Jesus begins to conclude the Sermon on the Mount by calling us to make an all-important decision between the broad, easy road that leads to destruction and the narrow, difficult road that leads to life. Will we choose to follow Jesus and enter the kingdom, or go to our own death? This passage also warns us against false prophets who would lead us astray by telling lies in the name of God. They are a real danger, but we may know who they are through their lives and actions, and whether their teaching agrees with Scripture and its meaning.
