Narrow Road~
"For the gate is small and the Road (way) is narrow that leads to life, and few there are that find it,": Matt. 7:14.
If you were planning on going on a road trip that included traveling over some rough terrain to get to your destination. You were going to have to take a road that was windy and steep, that had ruts and dips, and you had to ford a stream in order to get there. Would you just pack the car, climb in and go? Or would you make sure your vehicle was prepared and ready for the trip in all aspects? You, of course, who go through you vehicle with a view to it having to do all of those things that would eventually get you to your destination successfully. You would check the tires, brakes, steering, suspension (shocks, struts, steering links), and all the other mechanical components and fluid levels that would assure that you could get to where you were going without a failure that would stop you in your tracks.
Now what if you were not certain of the way to your destination, and assumed that the road was smooth and safe; a proper highway with services along the way where you could purchase the things you would need if you forgot something. What if you believed that WAZE had the directions and all you had to do was follow them and you would arrive at your destination without worrying about whether you knew the way.
This latter is what Christians for centuries have believed about how it is that a person will get into the Kingdom of God. They believe the directions given by the Great Apostle or a Great Prophet of the church, assuming that this is the 'way the truth leading to life'. What if this belief is wrong, yet they believe with all there heart that it is right. Could this cause problems? What if the vehicle they are driving is not the vehicle that can get them into the Kingdom?
What if they are taking the Death Road, instead of the Life Road?
