The Narrow Gate
Jesus
continues “making his way to Jerusalem” – to the cross.
Christian
discipleship, which is our following of Jesus, always involves the cross. That is “the narrow gate.”
Christian
discipleship is not about connections or even membership. It is
not enough to claim “We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our
streets.”
Jesus
surely teaches. But do I listen?
Christian
discipleship involves listening to Jesus and living his way. Yet so often, Jesus’ way contradicts our
political, cultural, economic, and societal values. There, the narrow gate!
