Reflections
By George Jones
Which Gate...
Matthew 7:13-14--“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat : 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
According to one Bible commentator, in the above verses, from the New
Testament book of Matthew, Jesus Christ contrasts the way to life as an
entrance through a gate.
“The words “straight” and “strait“ have very different
meanings.
While the former (straight) means not crooked; the latter word (strait),
used here, means pent up, narrow, difficult to be entered.
In this passage of scripture it means the latter, describing the way to
heaven as pent up, narrow, close, and not obviously entered. The way to
death is open, broad, and thronged.”
If this is the situation described by Jesus, who claims to be “the way,
“THE TRUTH” and the life” - then something has been lost in the
translation to a whole lot of people.
Non-believers in God the Creator and his son Jesus Christ the Messiah
aside - everyone else - regardless of their theology, seems to believe
they are on the “strait” path to the “narrow” gate.
Ephesians 4:5 states there is “one Lord, one faith and one baptism.”
Yet, those who study, or are familiar with the scriptures, know the
“religious world” is “divided” on the interpretation of these
three major points.
As recorded in John 17:20-23, Jesus prayed in the garden the following;
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that
thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they
may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one;
and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them,
as thou hast loved me.
The Apostle Paul restates the same theme in I Corinthians 1:10--“Now I
beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all
speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that
ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment.”
Again in 1 Corinthians 3:3 Paul adds, “For ye are yet carnal: for
whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not
carnal, and walk as men?”
In Romans 16:17 Paul emphasizes, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark
them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye
have learned; and avoid them.”
Jesus warns in Matthew 7:21 - “Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy
name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity.”
Previously, in Matthew 7:15 Jesus forewarned - “Beware of false
prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.”
In Barnes' Notes on the New Testament for Matthew chapter 7, Barnes made
the following comments on verse 15.
He wrote, “False prophets. The word prophet originally means, one who
foretells future events. As prophets, however, were commonly regarded as
public instructors on the subject of religion, the word came to denote
all who were religious teachers. In this sense it is probably used here.
A false prophet is a teacher of incorrect doctrine, or one falsely and
unjustly laying claims to Divine inspiration. It probably had reference
to the false teachers then among the Jews.
Which come to you in sheep’s clothing. The sheep is an emblem of
innocence, sincerity, and harmlessness. To come in sheep's clothing, is
to assume the appearance of sanctity, and innocence, when the heart is
evil.
Ravening wolves, rapacious; or disposed to plunder. Applied to the false
teachers, it means that they assumed the appearance of
holiness, in order that they might the more readily get the property of
the people. They were full of extortion and excess.”
So how can we identify a true believer and follower of Jesus
Christ?
In Galatians 5:22 we find - “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control.”
The importance of these nine key fruits and qualities stems from the fact
they emanate directly from God Himself. Therefore, it is incumbent on
every Christian to do their utmost to labor with the Holy Spirit in
acquiring all nine of these fruits as an intricate part of his or her
personality.
May you and I enter the “strait gate” and by no means hear the words
- “…I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Mid-Morning Inspiration
Peggie Haney is a
retired medical secretary and military wife of 26 plus years. Her
husband retired from the Navy in 1997 in Washington DC. The Navy has a
slogan - “Navy Wife, the hardest job.” Indeed, Peggie kept the
home fires burning all those years while her husband was deployed
serving our country in times of peace and war.
Keeping the house, paying the bills, getting the car repaired,
raising two brilliant and beautiful daughters, and finding time to write
her husband (no e-mail in those days) were all just a part of her daily
routine. Oh, and did I mention she has actively taught Bible class
since 1971? Peggie’s career as a Navy wife allowed her to change
addresses (move) 15 times. Having lived overseas, on both coasts, and
all points in between has helped to shape her positive outlook on life
and effervescent personality.
Peggie was born in
Oneonta, lived with her family, as a child, at Snead Cross Roads,
Detroit, MI and Glencoe, AL. She graduated from Glencoe High and
attended Gadsden State while working as one of the Bells of Southern
Bell (telephone operator) at the Gadsden office. It was there on the
steps of the telephone office that she met her Prince charming who
proposed to her the very same day. Not being as impulsive as her newly
found sailor, it was many “shore leaves” and several months later
before she would say yes.
Peggie
and her husband’s roots run deep on Sand Mountain and extend back to
Snead Cross Roads and the High Mound area. Roots is what brought them
back to the mountain and the offer of an internship with Beecher is what
brought her to WAVU. You may join her each day after the noon news until
2 PM for “Just a Closer Walk.”
