"Enter through the narrow gate. For
wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many
enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life
and only a few find it.¡¨
¸Ñ¸gCommentary:
1. The 1st road is narrow with a small gate. This path is restricted, those who are not willing to closely
follow and obey the teachings of Jesus will inevitably (¤£¥iÁקKªº) find the gate too small, so that few people get into it.; It is
lead to the eternal life. (John10:7-9) True disciples follow the narrow path of
holy living that leads to life. ¯u¥¿¸òÀHC¿q¨ÃªA±q±Ð¾É¤§¤H¡D¤£¥iÁקKªºªñ¤J¯¶ªù±o¥Ã¥Í¡C¡¨§Ú´N¬Oªù¡D¤Z±q§Ú¶i¨Óªº¡B¥²µM±o±Ï¡¨-(¬ù¿«ºÖµ10:7-9) ¡C
2. The 2nd road is broad with a wide gate with no
restrictions, no rules, no regulations to get in; so
many people choose this road for travel due to its easy; it leads to
destruction.¦h¤H¿ï¼e¤j¨S¨ü¨î¤§©ö¸ô¡B¬O¤Þ¨ì·À¤`¤§¸ô.

¸Ñ¸gCommentary:
1. A True prophet¡¦s
teaching and behavior leads others to follow the
path of holy and Christ like living, this is sign of good fruit.

2. A false prophet¡¦s
teaching, just like bearing bad tree, needs to cut
it down and thrown into the fire on the day of
judgment; Jesus warned His disciples from judging others in Verse1 and 2. °²¥ýª¾¤§±Ð¾É¦p¦PªG¾ðµ²¥XÃaªG¤l¡D¶·¬å±¼¦b¼f§P¤é¨ü¼f; C¿qĵ§i§Ṳ́£n½×Â_¤H¡B¦]§ÚÌ«ç¼Ë½×Â_¤H¡B¤]¥²«ç¼Ë³Q½×Â_¡C¥Î¬Æ»ò¶q¾¹¶qµ¹¤H¡B¤]¥²¥Î¬Æ»ò¶q¾¹¶qµ¹§AÌ¡C°¨¤Ó7:1-2
3. When Jesus talks about bad trees, he means teachers who deliberately
teach false doctrine. We must examine the teachers¡¦ motives, the direction they
are taking and the results they are seeking. - Commentary

3. Jesus exposed those
people who sounded religious but had no personal relationship with him. On ¡§that
day¡¨ (the day of judgment), only our relationship with Christ-our acceptance of
him as Savior and our obedience to him-will matter. Many people think that if
they are ¡§good¡¨ people and say religious things, they will be rewarded with
eternal life. In reality, faith in Christ is what will count at the judgment. (Commentary of NIV)¤HÌ¥H¬°¦n¤H´N¥i±o±Ï,¨ä¹ên±µ¨üC¿q°ò·þ¬°±Ï¥D¨Ã©M¥L¿Ëªñ¤§.

"Therefore everyone who hears

E. Conclusion:
1. The road of Following
Jesus will sometimes be narrow and unpopular; we just follow, obey Him, and put
His words into action in our lives. It will take us to eternity. Áö¬O¯¶¸ô¤£¤è«K¨«, ¥unÅ¥±q¨Ã¦æ¥X, ¥i¤Þ¨ì¥Ã¥Í¡C-
2. Believing in Jesus is the
only way to heaven, because he alone died for our sins and made us right before
God. Living his way may not be popular, but it is true and right. Thank God
there is one way! ¥u¦³¤@±ø¸ô¨ì¤Ñ°ê´N¬O«HC¿q, ¦]¥Lq¦º¤Q¦r¬[¤§Ä_¦å¬~²b§Ú̪º¸o, ¨Ï§ÚÌ¥i¸ò¯«ª½±µ¥æ³q¡C
