Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with two gates and two destinations. The narrow gate is not a burden added to the gospel but the door into it, and Christ himself is that door.

John 1:10 tells us the world did not recognize the One through whom it was made. That verse is not a footnote to the Christmas story; it is a diagnosis of every human heart, including ours.

Textual criticism is the patient work of comparing ancient copies to recover the original wording of Scripture. Far from undermining 2 Timothy 3:16, it serves the confidence that every Scripture is God-breathed.
