In the final section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus moves from teaching to testing. He calls His listeners to respond—not just by hearing His words, but by living them. His message comes to a climax with a series of stark contrasts—each one showing that there are only two ways to live:
- Two gates and paths (7:13–14): one narrow and life-giving, the other broad and destructive.
- Two trees (7:15–20): one that bears good fruit, the other bad.
- Two foundations (7:24–27): one built on obedience to Christ, the other on empty words. (covered in the next session).
First, He describes two gates and two roads—one narrow and difficult, leading to life, and one broad and easy, leading to destruction. Then He warns about false prophets—those who appear genuine on the outside but are inwardly dangerous, producing bad fruit and leading others astray.
This section confronts us with the reality that not all roads lead to God. Not all who claim to follow Him truly do. It challenges us to examine the voices we follow, the path we’re walking, and the fruit of our lives. It reminds us that the way of Christ is not popular—but it is life-giving.
