Beware Of The Crowd--The Many!

I’m on the easy path. My yoke is and my burden is light.

Thanks for that--indeed, there is an easy that is good...but you know what I mean.

Trust completely on JESUS THE CHRIST . now in this world ye shall have persecutions
but in Him even in prison with lashed up cut up backs , paul and silas still had the JOY of the LORD and were singing praises .
Its all about childlike FAITH in HIM and trusting IN HIS E VERY WORD as solid Truth .
Let us open and read daily the bible and believe what is wri tten .
NEVER twisting and omitting ANYTHING but rather as a child simply believing and trusting in HIM and thus HIS WORDS
and thus later all things the apostels left the churches to read . Oh the b ible is lovely and the words are TRUTH .

YES scott i knew exactly what you meant . THERE is a t rue EASY and a false easy .
The false easy looks for the path that pleases the flesh and its mindset be on monies and things of the world .
THE TRUE path will be met with great resistance and hatred against the sheep who wont conform
to their light puff n fluff , but rather expose their love of the cares and pleasures in life .
NOW paul , HE is but one example in the bible . OH he often met resistance and hatred
even being stoned once , and of ten in prison with lashes all over him .
EVEN in prison HE could sing praises to GOD . YOU SEE he had what is known as
the TRUE Abundant life in CHRIST . AND no its not about HOW MUCH money and etc ya have in life .
ITS THE REAL LIFE . the LIFE that no matter the circumstances and how harsh things can get , IT JUST
cannot take the JOY OF THE LORD away from HE whose HOPE BE IN JESUS .
Now many in the church think ya cursed if ya aint GOT what THEY CALL ya best joel osteen money blab it in grab it , name it and cliam it .
BUT EVEN THEY do not know the peace nor have the joy a sheep do .
YOU See any trial or any threat of harm or any difficutly in life ,TH EY RUN IN T ERROR , ARE WORRIED
and CONSUMED by fear . THAT IS NOT THE LIFE JESUS giveth HIS SHEEP .
They know only the life that is pleasing to the flesh . AND IT CAN NEVER BE and WILL NE VER truly BE FULLFILLED .
FOR ITS FOCUS BE NOT ON GOD , ITS HOPE NOT IN CHRIST . BUT rather in this world and the things of it .
I SURE HOPE that helps clear some things up my friend .

If you are wondering , the NKJV translates the word "εὐρύχωρος" as "Broad" as many other versions....where as some version translates the same greek word as easy....spacious

2149 εὐρύχωρος [euruchoros /yoo·roo·kho·ros/] adj. From eurus (wide) and 5561; GK 2353; AV translates as “broad” once. 1 spacious, broad.

Yes, unlike the "broad" way which is easy and doesn't require any discomfort, the "narrow" way is a squeeze and even changes a person.
