The Savior taught that there are two gates, a strait gate and a wide gate. In fact, specifically His teaching is: ???Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.??? If something is ???strait??? it can refer to a situation or a condition that is strict or of a high degree of difficulty. Our Father in Heaven requires everyone who enters into the gate leading to eternal life to begin a journey along a path that is narrow, and more difficult to travel. Conversely, the path that leads away from eternal life, the way the world is traveling, is a broad path, attractive in its appeal, has several distractions, and we know that many will walk that road. In our limited, mortal understanding, we may mistakenly think that the broad road is easier to travel, but it isn???t. It???s easier to get on that broad path because the gate to sin is wide, open to all, and sin is so easy to fall into. However, our Savior has said: ???Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.??? I believe that the burden of traveling the world???s path is much heavier and not as easily traveled as one may think. It???s easy to get onto that path, but far more difficult to travel along it, because of the consequences of sin. Whether in this life or the next each of us will face those consequences and they always result in spiritual pain.
