ادْخُلوا مِنَ البابِ الضَّيِّقِ. فما أوسَعَ البابَ وأسهلَ الطَّريقَ المؤدِّيةَ إلى الهلاكِ، وما أكثرَ الّذينَ يسلُكونَها. لكِنْ ما أضيقَ البابَ وأصعبَ الطَّريقَ المؤدِّيةَ إلى الحياةِ، وما أقلَّ الّذينَ يَهتدونَ إلَيها.
الزوادة الإيمانية/بشارة كما دوّنها متى 07/من01حتى24/”لا تَدينوا لِئلاَّ تُدانوا. فكما تَدينونَ تُدانونَ، وبِما تكيلونَ يُكالُ لكُم. لماذا تَنظُرُ إلى القَشَّةِ في عَينِ أخيكَ، ولا تُبالي بالخَشَبَةِ في عَينِكَ؟ بلْ كيفَ تقولُ لأخيكَ: دَعْني أُخرجِ القَشَّةَ مِنْ عَينِكَ، وها هيَ الخَشبَةُ في عينِكَ أنتَ؟ يا مُرائيُّ، أخْرجِ الخشَبَةَ مِنْ عَينِك أوَّلاً، حتّى تُبصِرَ جيِّدًا فَتُخرِجَ القَشَّةَ مِنْ عَينِ أخيكَ. لا تُعطوا الكِلابَ ما هوَ مُقَدَّسٌ، ولا تَرموا دُرَرَكُم إلى الخنازيرِ، لِئلاََّ تَدوسَها بأَرجُلِها وتلتَفِتَ إلَيكُم فتُمزِّقَكُم. إسألُوا تُعطَوا، أُطلُبوا تَجِدوا، دُقُّوا البابَ يُفتحْ لكُم. فمَن يَسألْ يَنَلْ، ومَنْ يَطلُبْ يَجِدْ، ومَنْ يَدُقَّ البابَ يُفتَحْ لَه. مَنْ مِنكُم إذا سألَهُ اَبنُهُ رَغيفًا أعطاهُ حَجَرًا، أو سَألَهُ سَمَكةً أعطاهُ حَـيَّةً؟ فإذا كُنتُم أنتُمُ الأشرارَ تَعرِفونَ كيفَ تُحسِنونَ العَطاءَ لأَبنائِكُم، فكَمْ يُحسِنُ أبوكُمُ السَّماويُّ العَطاءَ للَّذينَ يَسألونَهُ؟ عامِلوا الآخَرينَ مِثلَما تُريدونَ أنْ يُعامِلوكُم. هذِهِ هيَ خُلاصةُ الشَّريعةِ وتَعاليمِ الأنبياءِ. أُدْخُلوا مِنَ البابِ الضَّيِّقِ. فما أوسَعَ البابَ وأسهلَ الطَّريقَ المؤدِّيةَ إلى الهلاكِ، وما أكثرَ الّذينَ يسلُكونَها. لكِنْ ما أضيقَ البابَ وأصعبَ الطَّريقَ المؤدِّيةَ إلى الحياةِ، وما أقلَّ الّذينَ يَهتدونَ إلَيها. إيَّاكُم والأنبياءَ الكَذَّابينَ، يَجيئونَكُم بثِيابِ الحُملانِ وهُم في باطِنِهِم ذِئابٌ خاطِفةٌ. مِنْ ثِمارِهِم تعرِفونَهُم. أيُثمِرُ الشَّوكُ عِنَبًا، أمِ العُلَّيقُ تِينًا؟ كُلُّ شَجرَةٍ جيِّدةٍ تحمِلُ ثَمرًا جيِّدًا، وكُلُّ شَجَرةٍ رَديئةٍ تحمِلُ ثَمرًا رَديئًا. فما مِنْ شَجرَةٍ جيِّدةٍ تَحمِلُ ثَمرًا رَديئًا، وما من شَجرَةٍ رَديئةٍ تَحمِلُ ثَمرًا جيِّدًا. كُلُّ شَجرَةٍ لا تَحمِلُ ثَمرًا جيِّدًا تُقطَعُ وتُرمَى في النَّارِ. فمِنْ ثِمارِهِم تَعرِفونَهُم”.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 07/01-24: ““Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.Ask, Seek, Knock “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.”
