GPS to the Narrow Road

Cindy Dawson

Imagine you are sitting in church, listening to your pastor’s message, and he says,

“By the way, a lot of people around here aren’t going to Heaven!” (Everybody perks up and starts to pay attention.)

He continues, “The door to heaven is pretty small. So, many people are going to go through the wrong door. In fact, only a few people will find the right door, only a few.”

The people are thinking, “What? Is that really true?”

He continues, “You better make sure you are studying your Bible, or you won’t find the small door. Instead, you’ll follow the crowd through the big door. Some of you tend to do what sounds good, instead of carefully studying your Bible.” (People start to fidget because they don’t have time to read their Bibles. They’re really busy!)

The pastor exclaims, “Now that big door is not only the wrong door, it is the door that, once opened, will take you down a big, wide road that looks like a good road, but it isn’t! It leads to devastation and disaster!” (This isn’t what the people want to hear. They think he is too negative.)

He ends by saying, “Make sure you find the small door. Like I said, study your Bible. It is the GPS to the small door.”

Will the people start studying their Bibles, or will they dismiss the pastor’s warning?

Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

  2. Excellent post and reminder of knowing and following God’s directions to Heaven. If my memory serves me right, I think our brother David Duncan wrote a great analogy of GPS some time ago. I often refer to my Bible as my Guidebook, which never needs revising or updating! God bless you today sister Cindy 🙏

    1. Thank you, Alan. I will have to look for David’s post. I would love to see what he says about it. Yes, my Bible is my guidebook, too. I pray the Church will come to understand its incalculable value. God bless you today, my brother and friend! 🙏
