I'VE GOT IT!! I'VE GOT IT!!

Well at least it makes sense to me!!

This "Highway" and "Narrow Way" thing!!!

I found it here in the first sentence...

This is MY interpretation:

Go through the TOLL GATES!! Jesus has opened them!! He has paid the toll!!

(As I was writing this, I got sidetracked right here!! A friend's daughter was having her baby... in the early stages of labour!! But it helped me see something NEW... These gates remind me of the birth of a baby. The gate is really narrow and constricted, eh? But then, after the birth, there's a brand new, WIDE world!! Sort of along the lines I've been thinking about. Anyhow, I'll continue with what I was saying...)

However, we can't get on this Highway without going through the gate. We can only go through Jesus, who said, "I am THE gate (or door)!!" He is the only way.

As the only way onto this highway of life is through the birth gate, so the only way onto that Kingdom Highway is through the re-birth gate. We MUST be born again!!! (This latest events was prompting new thoughts here as I wrote.)

Jesus also said:

"Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.
"But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straight and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it." (Mat 7:13-14, Amp)

(WOW!! How like birth that is!!?)

It is the way of the Cross!!!

Because it is narrow, we cannot take a load. We need to stop at the weigh station and unload. This road does not take heavy traffic. We can't take our junk with us, but need to leave it at the Cross.

Anyhow, that's the start of my thoughts!! More later!!

BTW, the baby was a GIRL!!!
