Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Note 53 at Mt. 7:14: This narrow way that leads to life (Gk.- "zoe"- the God-kind of life) is not hidden. The reason that few find it is that they are looking in the wrong place. True Christianity is not popular (Mt. 7:13; Lk. 6:26; 2 Tim. 3:12). It includes self-denial (Mt. 7:12; Mt. 16:24-26), and it takes effort (Lk. 13:24).
