Generally speaking, everybody today is traveling on one of two roads. They are either on the right road or the wrong road. In this episode, Evangelist Frank King addresses these two roads in life.

During His public ministry, Jesus warned His followers about the road that leads to destruction. “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 that go in thereat” He said (Matthew 7:13, KJV).

In effect, Jesus is telling us to not follow the crowd because the majority is wrong. This goes against the grain of human logic. It feels right to us to blend in with the crowd and not to “stick out like a sore thumb.” But the truth is that most people in the world today are headed in the wrong direction.

Jesus says the way that leads to life is narrow and few find it (verse 14). Think about that word find. The primary way we find something is by looking for it. Of course, sometimes you find something by stumbling upon it. But the main way you find something is by looking for it.

Jesus is the way that leads life. He says no one comes to the Father but through Him (John 14:6). Hence, the way that leads to life is a restricted road. It’s not all-inclusive. One does not get to have it his way. That’s why few will find the road and gate that leads to life.

Jesus gave this warning about the two roads in life 2000 years ago. Even then, He says the majority was on the wrong road. In other words, this was not some prophetic teaching about the last days. Jesus was speaking to the people of His day. But the problem has become worse today. That is, wider is the gate and broader is the way that leads to destruction, and many there be who enter there.

Ironically, what we see happening today is the Christian church trying to be more like the world. You don’t see the world trying to be like the church. But in some ways, the church is trying to be more like the world. However, Jesus says the world is on the wrong road. How crazy is that?

Of course, we are called to reach the world for Christ. Our message must be relevant to the world we are called to reach. On the other hand, we can’t change the world through trying to be like the world. Nor can we add to the gospel by taking from its message to appease the world. “Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth to life, and few there be that find it.”
