SNS 105: Christ, the Narrow, the Difficult, and the Abundant Life?

In this episode, the question we will explore to enrich our faith is: How can the narrow gate and the restricted, difficult path lead to an abundance of life? 

I mean, in Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus said that narrow is the gate and restricted is the way that leads to life. And in John 10:10, he also said that he came to give an abundance of life to those who believe in him. The question is, how does this work? Narrow, restricted, and abundant?

Let me offer this for your consideration: In John 10:9, just before saying he came to give abundant life, Jesus says he is the gate through which we must go in order to get to the pastures, the life of abundance. Isn’t that intriguing?
