Matthew 7:13
_ _ Matthew 7:13-29. Conclusion and effect of the Sermon on the Mount.
_ _ We have here the application of the whole preceding discourse.
_ _ Conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:13-27). “The righteousness of the kingdom,” so amply described, both in principle and in detail, would be seen to involve self-sacrifice at every step. Multitudes would never face this. But it must be faced, else the consequences will be fatal. This would divide all within the sound of these truths into two classes: the many, who will follow the path of ease and self-indulgence — end where it might; and the few, who, bent on eternal safety above everything else, take the way that leads to it — at whatever cost. This gives occasion to the two opening verses of this application.
_ _ Enter ye in at the strait gate — as if hardly wide enough to admit one at all. This expresses the difficulty of the first right step in religion, involving, as it does, a triumph over all our natural inclinations. Hence the still stronger expression in Luke (Luke 13:24), “Strive to enter in at the strait gate.”
_ _ for wide is the gate — easily entered.
_ _ and broad is the way — easily trodden.
_ _ that leadeth to destruction, and — thus lured “many there be which go in thereat.” |
Matthew 7:13
The strait gate — The holiness described in the foregoing chapters. And this is the narrow way. Wide is the gate, and many there are that go in through it — They need not seek for this; they come to it of course. Many go in through it, because strait is the other gate — Therefore they do not care for it; they like a wider gate. Luke 13:24. |
Matthew 7:13
(5) 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:
(5) The example of life must not be taken from the multitude. |
