Arta Via | Narrow the Gate

"How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life" — Mat 7:14.

Nowadays, living as a Christian is not an easy thing. They say that Christians are the most persecuted people in the world. Among our relatives and colleagues, it's difficult to give testimony of Jesus Christ.

We could judge others and find many problems in their life. But is it the way how Jesus lived? We can notice that other people are sinners who commit many sins, but it does not help us to improve ourselves. It is a temptation to keep teaching our friends rather than ourselves.

Jesus Christ does not want us to be hypocrites who do not see their mistakes, but only the sins of others. The Son of God helps us understand what has universal value. He shows us how to become humble and patient. Especially in the relationship with our heavenly Father. We are to ask and wait for divine grace. This is the right attitude of true Christians in the modern world. Christians should live as children who trust in their parents.

We as God's children get everything we need from God's hands. The greatest gift is the Eucharist, which is the Body and Blood of Christ. These good things we get from our heavenly Father.

Let's focus on the goodness and blessings from God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is the best way that leads to life.
