THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT TWO FINAL DESTINATION PORTS, THE NARROW PATH THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN AND THE WIDE GATE THAT LEADS TO A WIDE PATH LEADING TO ETERNAL LIFE IN HELL.
JESUS’ MESSAGE IS THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL MUST MAKE HIS ULTIMATE CHOICE AS TO WHICH GATE AND PATH HE WILL CHOOSE.
ROMANS 8:18 SAYS- FOR I CONSIDER THE SUFFERINGS OF THE PRESENT TIME ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED WITH THE GLORY WHICH SHALL BE REVEALED TO US.
IN THE VERSE ABOVE PAUL PUTS IT IN THE RIGHT WAY, SOMETHING TO REALLY THINK HARD ABOUT, SOME SAY, “IT'S MY WISH AS TO WHAT I DO.” ‘IT'S MY WISH AS TO WHAT I EAT DRINK OR HOW I LIVE IT'S MY WISH AS TO HOW I SPEAK, TO WHOM I SPEAK OR WITH WHOM I MINGLE WITH.”
WHAT IS THIS PERSON REALLY TRYING TO TALK OR MAKE ONE UNDERSTAND, THAT HE OR SHE DOES NOT CARE IF ON THE LONG RUN, THEY HURT PEOPLE, THEY BECOME A BURDEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM NOR IF THE ONES WHOM THEY HAVE COMMITTED THEIR LIVES TO ARE LEFT STRANDED AS LONG AS THEY LIVE A LIFE ENJOYING THEMSELVES OR AT SOMEONE ELSE'S COST.
JESUS COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME BUT NO! JESUS CAME TO THIS WORLD TO GIVE US LIFE, TO SHOW US THE PATH TO ETERNITY, TO SHOW US EXACTLY WHICH PORT WE SHOULD DOCK AT.
NOTICE THE WORDS “SUFFERING & PRESENT TIME” IN THE ABOVE VERSES, CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT GIVE US A FREE PASS FROM SUFFERING NOR DID JESUS COME TO BECOME A “GET OUT OF SUFFERING” CARD.
JESUS SAID IN THIS LIFE YOU WILL HAVE SUFFERING IN FACT JESUS CAME INTO THIS WORLD TO TEACH THE ART OF BEING IN THE STORM AND GETTING OUT OF IT VICTORIOUSLY.
WITH JESUS BY YOUR SIDE YOU WILL NEVER BE IN WANT BUT WITH THE DEVIL BY YOUR SIDE THE WANT IS NEVER-ENDING.
PRAYER: FATHER GOD WE GOT ALL RIGHTS TO CALL YOU FATHER, DADDY AND AS A FATHER YOU ARE SURE TO FORGIVE US, BUT ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, THERE YOU WILL BE AS A JUDGE BEFORE US. NO CAJOLING WILL SOFTEN YOUR HEART TOWARD US, BECAUSE ON THAT DAY OUR DESTINATION WILL EITHER BE HEAVEN OR HELL.
