The door to God and the glory he has prepared for us stands wide open, but many either don't see the door or are unwilling to follow the path God has mapped to that door. It's a hard path; many will choose more immediate comforts instead of eternal rest. Jesus followed that path as it passed through suffering and opposition. His cross came before his crown. The same path lies ahead of us.

Key thought: Don't let present comfort rob you of an eternal rest.

Key thought: Jesus bore a cross so that you can wear a crown.
