JESUS ​​IS THE WAY

"Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." Matthew 7:13

Jesus speaks of a door and a path. The door is like our conversion. It is a transitional moment. It's something we passed.

After making that decision, there is still a long way to go. As my friends say nordestinos 'It's down!'.

The wide and spacious path calls us. In this way there is a lot of freedom. Give to rest, relax, have fun. 

Some say there are several ways to follow Jesus (and please ourselves). It is common nowadays to declare that all religions are valid. "God is one", they say.

But that way we will get to life. Jesus is not called "one of the ways." Jesus is "The Way" (John 14: 6).

And this is the only path that leads to life. It is a path of self-sacrifice and obedience. There are losses and privations. That is why it is described as "narrow".

It is in this way that we begin to see more and more the Father waiting for us ahead.

It is in this way that we found a new will born in us, driven by the presence of the Holy Spirit.

It was this way that our Lord walked. For us to really know Jesus, there is no other way.

Keep walking. Do not give up. There are always better days ahead you waiting. And no partner better than Jesus at his side.

"And thine ears shall hear a word of what is behind you, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when you turn aside neither to the right nor to the left." Isaiah 30:21
