When Jesus spoke about the wide gate and the narrow gate, he was talking to the people who were following him, not the heathen. Also, we know that the Israelites are a picture of the Christian. There was a mixed multitude that influenced the Israelites to complain when it came to their lack of food. In other words, there are people in the church who call themselves Christians, but are just naming the name of Christ and not taking hold of Him 100%. How many times do we listen to what people who call themselves Christians have to say over what the Bible says? We need to stick to the Scriptures and not be easily swayed by every wind of doctrine. Thank you so much for your blog. It is definitely a thought provoker. ****************************** SUSY RESPONDS: I think you're right, Jennifer. The culture serves up a spiritual soup of beliefs and ideas and we must cling to the Rock and know the Bible....I know that this dear girl's story reminds me to take time to talk, really talk, with people and get beneath the surface where we can work through the things that really matter. I just can't assume that everyone sitting in a pew knows Jesus on an intimate level. I completely agree with the fact that there are many people who are drifting in the Christian current.
