Interpretation: the narrow way is the way of humility and does not depend on who is next to you. You also should not be by yourself but should be in fellowship. Remember in Matthew 24:37 two people can be working together in a field, but one is taken and the other is left. Assume with me for a moment that the narrow way means humility. Humility is the thing that allows one to receive the gospel, because in Jesus parable of the sower and the seed, the seed grows as long as the soil is soft and deep. [Mark 4:14] What gets in the way are rocks, weeds, and hardness which correspond to 'lack of depth or not much to grow in', 'worldly concerns such as wealth', and 'pride'. You can be with the majority yet also find the narrow way if you do it humbly. The gospels frequently contrast Jesus humility and the pride of his opponents.JesusnamefollowerofChrist said:the Lord said broad is the way that leads to destruction and narrow is the way to eternal life so why take the way of the majority?
