Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount now begins to draw to a close. The main body of his instruction has been completed and for the better part of the last chapter Jesus will conclude with several points of application, invitation and call to decision. Each laying bare the truth that the road to kingdom living is neither easy or automatic. It involves a conscious, deliberate personal choice that each of us must make, to enter an intentional way of life that is hard to find, and even harder to live. And all while the vast majority of those around us, oblivious and unconcerned, are simply on their merry way. We come this morning to the first of those decision points in Matthew 7:13-14, in a message entitled, “The Road Less Traveled” .
