“Enter by the narrow gate” [Matthew 7:13(RSV)]

August 22

“Enter by the narrow gate”. Those seeking the way into the kingdom of heaven make a big mistake when they look for massive pearly gates. These are reserved to hang at the entrances to the New Jerusalem. It is a small gate, easily missed, you should be looking for. Jesus said, ‘Few there be that find it’. Possibly the massive doors to be found at the entrance to some of our cathedrals and churches or the pomp and ceremony that has become attached to some parts of the Christian church are misleading.
It is only by stooping in humility at the foot of the Cross you will enter the kingdom of heaven. Denying oneself, taking up one’s cross and enduring affliction are not things we would naturally look for. But they are companions of the greatest joy the heart can know.
