“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.”     Matthew 7:12-14 (NIV)

God’s design is that we build health—eternal health. Jesus describes the way as “narrow,” but it is the only way that leads to life. Later he will say on the night he was headed to the cross to pay for our sins and purchase our eternal life—I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. It’s a narrow call and evidence of faith in him is a narrow way of life. But it is what the Bible describes as “the life that is truly life.” Physical training has some (“little”—think, “temporary") value, but training in godliness has value in all things—holding promise for both the present life and the life to come (1 Timothy 4:8). Let’s learn this Sunday the kingdom call of Building Health. Come and invite your family and friends! See you Sunday!
