Back to school... don't go back to old habits

Matthew 7:13-14

Here's a reminder of the cost and challenge of following the Gospel. A fork in the read presents itself and we must choose. Appearances can be deceiving. Though the narrow way may seem dangerous and full of troubles, it leads through suffering and life to love everlasting. The alternative looks lovely, but don't trust it.

Jesus makes it clear that there are essentially two paths in life: the difficult Christ-path, and the "easy" road to sin and death. I'd like to say otherwise, but here it is: from the mouth of Christ, "Enter through the narrow gate."
