Boy, the Lord just keeps telling me such wonderful things. He’s so infinite and full of wholeness, truth, life, rest, peace and joy. And He keeps expanding on each of these areas, and more. And Jesus isn’t full in the sense of the way that we often view “full.” When we think of full, we think of something that has edges, sides, is enclosed. But, God is infinite and unlimited. He’s full without sides. ☺
13 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:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life (Jesus), and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:13-14
The spirit of antichrist that will dominate in the one world system that’s coming upon the world, and the one that will become more and more dominate in the coming days will be a system that will totally suffocate the true life found only in Jesus. The one world system will force all people to think the same, to be the same. There will be no room for anything else. Those in charge will demand total conformity to their way of thinking. Wow, that’s really scary for anyone who will be left to live in the tribulation period, the period Bible indicates is soon to be in place.
The wide way that leads to death is such a distraction and blinds us from seeing the infinite, narrow way that leads to all of true life.
Narrow sounds confining to us. Wide often sounds more comfortable and open with unlimited opportunities. But, when we really study the two ways, we find that they’re really not what they appear to be. The narrow way is really infinite while the wide way is one that’s constricting and contracting.
The wide way and the narrow way… It’s funny how the wide way life that leads to destruction will steal, kill and destroy and how the narrow way will give us “life” and that abundantly. In reality, the narrow way keeps expanding and broadening us while the wide way will suffocate us, choke us off and bring us death. In reality, the two ways are really just the opposite of how we often look at them. One, the narrow, infinite way is liberating, growing and freeing while the other (the wide, finite way) is actually narrowing us and cutting us off from “life,” from Jesus Who is The Way, The Truth and The Life.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 2:6-9
God bless,
