Should you and I care that most people are NOT following the narrow way?


Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14


Can the "narrow way" be defined further?


Thomas said to Him [Jesus], "Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:5-6


Jesus claimed that He was also the door.


So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All those who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." John 10:7-9


Should we care that even some Christian believers are weak and sick because they're not discerning the Lord's body in a worthy manner? 1 Corinthians 11:27-30


Should we care that some Christian believers are spiritual babies who can't handle meat and strong meat?


And I [Paul], brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but only as fleshly, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to consume it. But even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like ordinary people? 1 Corinthians 3:1-3; Hebrews 5:13-14


Should you and I care that there are people who are homeless and poor financially?


All they [James, Peter, John v.9] asked was that we [Paul and Barnabas v.9] should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along. Galatians 2:10


Should we care about those locked behind bars and others who suffer adversity?


Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Hebrews 13:3


Should we at least wake up and be ready?


Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 1 Peter 5:8-9


Should we care about any of these things?


Or should we just live our lives and do the best we can for ourselves and our families as though these truths and facts don't really matter?


Jesus said, "These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." John 16:33


Your thoughts?
