Jesus is wrapping up his longest and most famous recorded sermon, the so-called Sermon on the Mount. Before He talks about how one will be known by one’s fruits and warns that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven,” he speaks about two gates. The two gates lead to two paths which reach two destinations. These are final destinations and they are both eternal destinations. One path is easy and it leads to destruction. The other path is hard and it leads to life. Which one will you choose?
