The Ministry of Jesus Christ

Scripture Readings
Proverbs 16:25
“ There is a way that seems right unto a man, but in the end leads to death”.

Matthew 7:13-14, 21-29
“Enter by the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to
destruction and there are many who go it by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult
is the way which leads to leads to life, and there are few that find it.”

John 10:9
“ I am the door, (gate) whoever enters through ME will be saved” NIV

I Cor 3: 11
“ For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid,
which is Jesus Christ”.
2 Foundations ….Which one are you building on ?
1. Rock – This rock is JESUS “ everyone who hears my sayings and does them…”

Solid – never perish, (John 10:28) his words will never pass away (Matt 24:35) ,
anyone who believes in ME will never be ashamed (Romans 10:11)
Strong – HE IS MIGHTY and able to save (Isa 63) ….able to save to the uttermost (Heb 7:25) to everyone who calls upon His name “ LORD SAVE ME” – (Matt 14:30)
 
2. Sand – Everything Else “Everyone who hears the sayings of Christ and DOES NOT DO THEM”
 
Sinking … Has no foundation … no bedrock …nothing to hold it up
Shifting … constantly changing …..If your building on sand you will perish in the STORM Are you wise ? Or foolish ?

2 Roads ….Which one are you traveling on ?1. The Broad Way – “ that leads to Death and Destruction ” - Hell

IT’S WIDE … includes all regions, all walks of life, all the ideas of human imaginations …
sinful pleasures and self righteous religions of human effort
IT’S DOWNWARD, … and it LEADS TO DEATH AND DESTRUCTION

IT’S CROWDED … FULL OF MANY PEOPLE – THAT ARE ASLEEP spiritually BLIND , BLISSFULLY UNAWARE
OF THE FACT THEY ARE PERISHING….

2. The Narrow Way – “ that leads to Life ” and Heaven

  IT’s SMALL …..and DIFFICULT to find.. ….VERY FEW FIND IT… Jesus taught how difficult it was to follow
HIM … it’s requires taking up YOUR CROSS…

IT’S STRAIGHT …. NOT EASY TO FIND …. WHY ?...BECAUSE it calls one to REPENT, to ACCEPT GOD’S TRUTH
and ACCEPT SALVATION THROUFGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE and ON THE BASIS OF
GRACE… GOD’S GIFT – ….It’s BRING US TO FULL DEPENDANCE ON HIM ALONE.
1 Door ….There is only one way to Heaven…JESUS
Jesus said, in John 10:9

“ I am the door, (gate) whoever enters through ME will be saved” NIV

One Door (John 10:9)
One Way (John 14:6)
One Person (Acts 4:12…neither is there salvation in any other”

Why …. “He gave HIMSELF for our sins that He might rescue us” Gal 1:4
