Matthew 7:14

"“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it."

Key Reflection

This verse contrasts the narrow path of life and salvation with the wide and easy-to-follow path leading to destruction. Jesus warns that while many may choose the broad way, few will find the narrow gate that leads to true life and eternal blessings.
