Matthew 7:13-14 — Did Jesus trim the Gospel to fit man, or did He trim man to fit His Gospel? Preached in the U.S.A. in 1969, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones reads from Matthew 7:13-14 and addresses the great charge often brought against Christians as being narrow. Learn the importance of guarding against becoming too "wide." The church has been so anxious to please modern man that the Gospel message has been lost. Dr. Lloyd-Jones declares that we must boldly stand our ground as being narrow Christians. Christ delighted and exalted in this idea of being narrow. Why did Christ choose to call His way of living "narrow?" The Bible deliberately specializes in one subject – the souls of men. Look at how Christ used His knowledge of agriculture to bring out man's soul. The Gospel is intensely personal. God wants you and you alone, not an agent. What is your personal position when you stand face-to-face before God? The world resents narrowness, but it is this very narrowness that would lead to paradise! Salvation is “narrow” through the death of one man. You cannot meet God without the cross of Christ. Turn to Him! He will receive you unto Himself. Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life.
