Matthew 7:13-14
[13] “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. [14] For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

2.  In what ways does this passage highlight human responsibility? How does it challenge you?
3.  What distinguishes the narrow gate/way from the one that is broad?
4.  How does this passage challenge the hearer to “count the cost”? (Luke 14:25-33; 2 Corinthians 5:15)
5.  How do the “gate,” “way,” and “life” relate to Jesus? Why is the way of cost the way of rest? (John 10:9; 14:6; 11:25; Matthew 11:28)
