We Have Two Choices

The Well Church Edmond

As he closes out the Sermon on the Mount teachings, Jesus emphasizes that his disciples have the dignity of a choice to either follow the teachings and make him the Lord of their lives- or not. Following these teachings offers the narrow road to life, while not choosing to follow them leads down the wide road to destruction. As his disciples living today, our choices have an impact in the “now and not yet” Kingdom. If we live according to Jesus’ teachings, our earthly lives will be full of connection and meaning. At the appointed time, Jesus will judge who has walked the narrow road and who has walked the wide road. There are and will be consequences to what we choose.
