Some seem almost offended by the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:13-14 regarding the fact that few will find the narrow gate to eternal life.
Jesus is not talking about ineptitude, or the idea that most are ‘too dumb’ to be saved. He is speaking of the poor decision-making process that will characterize the spiritual choices of the majority of humanity. Satan is all too aware of our tendency toward taking the path of least resistance, and he carefully crafts temptations that are designed to entice us to take the easy way out. And the sad, sad truth is that the majority of people fall for it. Don’t sell him short, and don’t be one of the many.
