Ignoring Grace Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. — Matthew 7:14 My attention was drawn to the soft, almost mournful sound of a single trumpeter playing “Amazing Grace.” The crowds appeared oblivious to both the musician and the music. Still, he played — sending a musical message of the love of God out to whoever knew the song and would think about the words as he played. | |
I thought of this experience as a parable. The music seemed to be an invitation to the masses to follow Christ. As with the gospel message, some believe in God’s amazing grace and choose the narrow way. Others ignore His grace, which is the broad way that leads to everlasting destruction. Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matt. 7:13-14). Jesus died so that “whoever calls” on His name (Rom. 10:13) can find forgiveness in His grace. — Bill Crowder Amazing grace — how sweet the sound — That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now I see. — Newton Christ believed is salvation received. | |
