MESSIANIC LESSON

798 THE ROAD

 

Scripture: Mattiyahu (Mat) 7:13-14 and only a few find it.

 

SYNOPSIS: Mat 7:14 but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it. V14 is one of the harshest verses in the entire BIBLE. Why? For most of the body gives out this butterfly and kisses version of YESHUA. If we read v14 again we see a very different picture. YESHUA gives us a picture not of butterfly kisses but of a dangerous hard road. And a harsh warning that only a few, strong, dedicated, hardworking, unwilling to compromise people are going to find this gate. Now most people focus on the gate part of YESHUA’S teaching. This HaShabbat we are going to learn, the gate is only for a small group of victors. Are you going to one of them?

 

HASHABBAT LESSON 1: THE HARD ROAD THAT ONLY A FEW FIND: Mattiyahu (Mat) 7:13-14 and only a few find it. Yesha’yahu (Isa) 35:4-8 A highway will be there, a way, called the Way of Holiness. Mishal (Prov) 12:15 Fools suppose their way is straight. Yesha’yahu (Isa) 35:4-8. Yirmeyahu (Jer) 6:16-18 Stand at the crossroads and look.

 

HASHABBAT LESSON 2: EXAMPLES OF PATHS AND ROADS. Sh’mot (Ex) 14:10-22 The road was blocked for the moment. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 don't run aimlessly but straight for the finish line. Psalm 119:105 a lighted path requires?
