Today on grace to you, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father but by me.” That’s narrow. The way is broad that leads to destruction. If you want to be in the kingdom of heaven, you must enter this gate. What in the world makes us so embarrassed about the gospel? I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him [Music] [Music] crucified.

Turn in your Bible to Matthew 7. Matthew 7. It’s a very familiar passage and I want to read verses 13 through 27. Matthew 7:13-27. Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction. And there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to me,”Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name cast out demons and in your name perform many miracles? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you.
