Jesus' teaching regarding Christian living can be related to His
teaching in 'the Lord's Prayer' (6:9-13). We are not to pray one thing
and do another. We are to live the Lord's Prayer. We receive forgiveness
from God. We are to show His forgiveness to others. We receive good
things from God. We are to be generous in our giving to others. Before
you can live the Christian Life, you must receive the Christian Life -
Christ living in your heart (Revelation 3.20). Before you can walk in
'the way', you must enter by 'the gate' (13-14). Jesus speaks of two
gates, two ways and two destinations. He tells us that some will be
saved and many will be lost. What we must remember is this - Christ is
'the Door' (John 10:7), 'the Way' (John 14:6) and 'our Hope of glory'
(Colossians 1:27). The gate may be narrow, the way hard, but never
forget this - Christ is 'the Gate' and 'the Way' that leads to life.
