Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:14, “That small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life”…and that starts with submission to God’s correction and direction. For if you think about it, Jesus was the perfect balance of gentleness and sternness…righteousness and toughness among the wicked. He pulled toddlers up on His lap to bless but yet pulled tables over in the Temple for what the people had allowed it to become. Yes, Jesus was perfectly balanced…magnanimous in spirit to forgive any sinner seeking pardon, while calling out with no uncertain terms those who indulged in evil.
