Strive to Enter through the Narrow Door, for Jesus Fulfills the New Covenant | John Piper · Reformed Thinking

• 0:00
  Welcome to reformed thinking, and welcome back to the Deep
• 0:02
  dive. I'm your host.
• 0:04
  And it's truly good to be here again.
• 0:06
  Today we're really digging into something quite central, I
• 0:11
  think, for followers of Jesus. This whole idea of striving.
• 0:16
  Our main source is John Piper's book All That Jesus Commanded,
• 0:19
  and we're zeroing in on command #23 strive to enter through the
• 0:23
  narrow door, for Jesus fulfills the New Covenant.
• 0:26
  We've also got some supplementary notes to help us
• 0:29
  unpack it all. Yeah.
• 0:30
  And our goal today really is to pull out the most practical,
• 0:33
  helpful insights about this command.
• 0:35
  We want to understand what does driving actually look like,
• 0:38
  right? What are the dangers that make
• 0:39
  it, well, necessary? And maybe most importantly, how
• 0:43
  does this path, which sounds kind of hard, actually fit with
• 0:46
  the rest Jesus offers? That's the big question, isn't?
• 0:48
  It it is, hopefully by the end you, the listener will have a
• 0:52
  much clearer picture of what faithful living involves and
• 0:55
  crucially, how God enables it. OK, let's start right at the
• 0:58
  source. Matthew Chapter 7 verses 13 and
• 1:00
  14. Jesus lays it out pretty
• 1:02
  clearly. He says enter by the narrow
• 1:04
  gate. For the gate is wide and the way
• 1:06
  is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter
• 1:09
  by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the
• 1:11
  way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
• 1:15
  Wow. I mean, that contrast hits you
• 1:19
  right away, doesn't it? Wide and easy versus narrow and
• 1:22
  hard. It really does.
• 1:23
  So the path to life, it's narrow and hard.
• 1:28
  What are the immediate takeaways from just that description?
• 1:31
  It doesn't sound like a walk in the park.
• 1:33
  No, definitely not. It immediately tells you that
• 1:36
  getting onto the path of life, the true life Jesus offers,
• 1:40
  isn't automatic. It's not the default setting.
• 1:43
  It's not like you just sort of drift into it, and it's
• 1:45
  certainly not effortless. The description implies that it
• 1:48
  requires some real, deliberate, ongoing effort.
• 1:51
  Like you have to actively choose it and keep choosing it.
• 1:53
  Exactly. It requires conscious choice and
• 1:56
  then sustained exertion. That exertion, that focused
• 1:59
  effort, that's what the Bible often called striding.
• 2:01
  Yeah. It paints a picture of pushing
• 2:03
  forward, maybe against resistance towards a specific
• 2:06
  goal. You're not just strolling along.
• 2:08
  You're actively engaged, pressing on even when it gets
• 2:12
  difficult. It demands focus.
• 2:14
  So striving. What does that practically mean
• 2:16
  for someone listening today? If Jesus commands this, why is
• 2:19
  it such a vital thing? What's really at risk here that
• 2:21
  makes this effort non negotiable?
• 2:23
  Well, the stakes are incredibly high.
• 2:25
  Our sources make it clear that this call to strive to push
• 2:29
  through that narrow door, it's a direct response to, and I quote,
• 2:33
  many dangers that threaten our souls.
• 2:35
  Dangers. OK Internal.
• 2:36
  External. Both.
• 2:37
  Both. Definitely both.
• 2:39
  And they aren't just vague ideas, they're real forces.
• 2:43
  Internally, we're dealing with things like, well, the deceit of
• 2:45
  money. Yes.
• 2:47
  How does that work? It's not just greed, is it?
• 2:49
  No, it's much subtler than just wanting more is how money can
• 2:53
  twist your priorities. You know, it whispers promises
• 2:57
  of security or happiness or status that it can't actually
• 3:00
  deliver. Right, it can make you value the
• 3:02
  wrong things. Exactly.
• 3:04
  It can subtly shift your deepest affections away from God towards
• 3:07
  temporary earthly things. It warps your perspective on
• 3:10
  what truly lasts. OK, deceit of money.
• 3:13
  What else? Internally.
• 3:15
  Then there's the praise of man. This is a powerful one, the
• 3:18
  desire for approval, for admiration from others.
• 3:22
  Being liked. Yeah, wanting people to think
• 3:24
  well of us, it can lead us to shape our lives, even our public
• 3:27
  faith. Just to get that applause, we
• 3:30
  start performing for an audience instead of living for God.
• 3:33
  And you might compromise without even realizing it.
• 3:35
  You absolutely can. Your loyalty shifts subtly from
• 3:39
  pleasing God to pleasing people. It leads to a kind of spiritual
• 3:42
  shallowness where how things look matters more than how they
• 3:45
  are. OK, money praise.
• 3:48
  What's the third internal? One, the third one mentioned is
• 3:50
  the lure of physical indulgence. This covers a lot our desires
• 3:53
  for comfort, pleasure, ease, immediate gratification.
• 3:57
  Things that feel good right now. Precisely.
• 3:59
  And those aren't inherently bad, but when they become the driving
• 4:02
  force, when they dictate our choices over spiritual
• 4:05
  well-being, they pull us off the path.
• 4:07
  Like choosing comfort over a difficult act of obedience.
• 4:10
  Exactly. Or rationalizing choices that
• 4:13
  serve our immediate desires but slowly drain our spiritual
• 4:17
  vitality. These things, money's deceit,
• 4:20
  man's praise, physical indulgence.
• 4:22
  They're constantly pulling at us.
• 4:24
  They're why the path feels narrow.
• 4:26
  They're always trying to lure us onto a wider, easier side roads.
• 4:30
  That makes so much sense. It's not just abstract theology.
• 4:33
  These are real, everyday struggles.
• 4:36
  It helps explain why it's narrow, because these forces are
• 4:38
  actively trying to divert us. It requires constant awareness,
• 4:42
  doesn't it? It really does intentional
• 4:44
  choices, keeping your heart aimed correctly.
• 4:46
  It's about what you desire deep down, not just your outward
• 4:49
  actions. OK, so those are the internal
• 4:51
  battles, but you said there were external dangers too.
• 4:53
  Yes, and Jesus warns about these very strongly.
• 4:55
  He talks about external deceptions, which can be just as
• 4:58
  dangerous, maybe even more so because they can look so
• 5:00
  convincing. Like what specifically?
• 5:02
  He warns pointedly about false prophets and false Christs.
• 5:06
  These aren't just minor errors in teaching.
• 5:08
  They represent a fundamental threat to someone's spiritual
• 5:11
  life. They aim to lead people away
• 5:13
  from the true source of life. False prophets, False Christs?
• 5:18
  That sounds pretty serious. How did Jesus say we could
• 5:20
  recognize them? In a world full of voices
• 5:23
  claiming truth, that seems vital.
• 5:25
  It is vital and Jesus gives us a striking image.
• 5:28
  He says they come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
• 5:32
  are ravenous wolves. Ship's clothing so they look
• 5:35
  harmless, maybe even pious. Exactly.
• 5:38
  They might appear gentle, wise, charismatic, wrapped in
• 5:41
  religious language, but underneath their motives and
• 5:44
  their message are destructive. They prey on people.
• 5:47
  So how do we see past the disguise?
• 5:50
  Jesus gives a practical test. You will recognize them by their
• 5:53
  fruits, their character, their actions over time, the actual
• 5:56
  results of their teaching in people's lives, the kind of
• 5:59
  community they build. These things eventually reveal
• 6:01
  their true nature. Actions speak louder than words
• 6:04
  then. In this case, yes, and it's
• 6:06
  presented as a matter of spiritual life and death.
• 6:08
  Especially because Jesus adds that these false figures will
• 6:12
  arise and perform signs and wonders to lead astray, if
• 6:15
  possible, the elect. Wait, signs and wonders like
• 6:19
  miracles. Yes, that's the really alarming
• 6:22
  part. Outward displays of power,
• 6:23
  things that look supernatural, aren't automatically proof of
• 6:26
  God's approval or truth. That's unsettling.
• 6:29
  If you can't trust miracles as proof, how do you discern what's
• 6:32
  the safeguard against being fooled by something flashy but
• 6:34
  false? The ultimate safeguard, the
• 6:36
  sources emphasize, is staying anchored to Jesus himself.
• 6:40
  The path is as narrow as faith in Jesus, the only true Messiah
• 6:44
  and King of kings. Only one Christ.
• 6:46
  Only one. Any other claimant, no matter
• 6:48
  how impressive or miraculous they might seem, is by
• 6:51
  definition a false Christ. There's a story in the source
• 6:54
  material about the author actually meeting followers of
• 6:57
  someone claiming to be Christ, gathering people secretly.
• 7:00
  Wow, really? How did he handle?
• 7:02
  That he pointed them to Luke 17.24.
• 7:06
  Jesus said his return wouldn't be secret or localized.
• 7:10
  It would be like lightning flashing across the entire sky,
• 7:13
  globally unmistakable. So any claim of a secret hidden
• 7:18
  return is immediately disqualified by Jesus's own
• 7:21
  words. Exactly.
• 7:22
  If someone says look, he's here in this hidden community, or he
• 7:25
  appeared to be privately, that contradicts Jesus's own
• 7:28
  description of his coming. His return will be public,
• 7:31
  visible to all. That gives us a clear benchmark.
• 7:34
  That real world example makes it very concrete.
• 7:37
  This isn't just ancient history, it's an ongoing challenge.
• 7:40
  So part of striving is this act of discernment, guarding against
• 7:43
  deception. Absolutely.
• 7:45
  Vigilance against false teaching and false leaders is a key part
• 7:48
  of navigating that narrow path. Which leads us to another reason
• 7:51
  for vigilance. The urgency comes from the fact
• 7:53
  that the time of His Second Coming is unknown to any of us.
• 7:56
  Nobody knows the day or the hour.
• 7:58
  Right. Jesus was very clear on that.
• 7:59
  And because of that uncertainty, He commands us stay awake, for
• 8:03
  you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
• 8:06
  Watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
• 8:09
  Watch. Stay awake.
• 8:11
  What does that look like practically?
• 8:13
  Does it mean, you know, literally not sleeping?
• 8:15
  Pulling all nighters, waiting? That seems impossible.
• 8:17
  Yeah, that's a common misunderstanding, but the
• 8:20
  sources point us to the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25
• 8:23
  to clarify. The wise and foolish virgins,
• 8:26
  OK. Remember in the story, all 10
• 8:28
  virgins, the Wise Ones included, became drowsy and slept while
• 8:32
  waiting? Oh.
• 8:33
  Right, I forgot that part. He doesn't criticize the wise
• 8:36
  ones for sleeping. Exactly.
• 8:37
  Their wisdom wasn't in fighting off sleep.
• 8:39
  Their wisdom was in their preparedness.
• 8:42
  They had enough oil for their lamps whenever the bridegroom
• 8:44
  arrived. So being prepared was the key,
• 8:46
  not staying physically awake. Precisely.
• 8:49
  It shifts the meaning of watch from literal wakefulness to a
• 8:53
  state of spiritual readiness, A practical readiness.
• 8:56
  OK, that makes much more sense. So if watching isn't about
• 9:00
  avoiding sleep, what does it mean for us day-to-day?
• 9:03
  How do we watch while going to work, raising families, living
• 9:06
  normal lives? It means primarily to be
• 9:09
  watchful over your life. Keep an eye on your own heart,
• 9:13
  your priorities, your actions. Are you living in line with what
• 9:16
  you believe? It's internal vigilance.
• 9:18
  OK, self examination. Yes.
• 9:20
  And secondly, it means to be watchful over what the
• 9:23
  bridegroom has called you to do. This is about your specific
• 9:26
  responsibilities, your calling. My calling, like my job, my
• 9:30
  family could. Be It's about fulfilling your
• 9:32
  calling, whatever that is, parent, teacher, artist,
• 9:35
  engineer, caregiver, whatever God has put in front of you to
• 9:39
  do. Be vigilant to do what God has
• 9:41
  called you to do. So it's about being faithful in
• 9:43
  the present tasks. Exactly.
• 9:46
  Remain hardly engaged in your earthly calling for His glory.
• 9:49
  Don't sit around idle, just waiting.
• 9:51
  Live faithfully now knowing He can return anytime, but don't
• 9:55
  neglect the work He's given you for today.
• 9:56
  That reminds me of that command and Luke engage in business
• 9:59
  until I come. It's the same principle.
• 10:01
  Faithful activity in your daily life is spiritual.
• 10:03
  Vigilance makes the path very personal, very active, right
• 10:06
  where you are. OK, so we need vigilance against
• 10:10
  internal dangers, external deceptions, and we need this
• 10:13
  washful readiness through faithful living because we don't
• 10:17
  know the time. What else makes the path hard?
• 10:20
  Another major danger is simply growing weary in the battle,
• 10:24
  getting tired. Spiritual fatigue.
• 10:26
  Yeah, I could see that. Discipleship isn't easy.
• 10:29
  There's resistance, there's struggle, and sometimes you
• 10:31
  might start looking back thinking life seemed easier
• 10:34
  before I took this path seriously.
• 10:35
  That temptation to coast or even turn back.
• 10:38
  Exactly, and Jesus addresses this directly.
• 10:41
  What happens if that weariness leads to your love, your zeal,
• 10:44
  cooling off? What does he say?
• 10:46
  He warned because lawlessness will be increased, the love of
• 10:49
  many will grow cold, but the one who perseveres to the end will
• 10:53
  be saved. Wow perseveres to the end.
• 10:55
  So striving isn't just starting well, it's finishing well.
• 10:58
  Precisely, it has to last. That perseverance through
• 11:02
  weariness, through the cooling of love around you is essential.
• 11:05
  It's part of the striving. Jesus also gives that very
• 11:08
  short, very chilling warning about looking back.
• 11:11
  Remember Lot's wife? Luke 17.32.
• 11:15
  We know the story. She looked back at Sodom.
• 11:16
  Turned into salt. What's the core lesson there for
• 11:20
  US? Striving today?
• 11:21
  It feels like more than just physical looking back.
• 11:23
  It absolutely is. The source material suggests God
• 11:27
  saw in her glance an idolatrous heart.
• 11:30
  Idolatrous. How so?
• 11:32
  Because her deepest affection, her true longing, wasn't for God
• 11:36
  or the future He was leading her to.
• 11:39
  It was still tied to Sodom. The life, the comforts, the
• 11:42
  things she was leaving behind. Her heart was still there, even
• 11:45
  as her feet were moving away. So looking back represented a
• 11:49
  divided heart, a misplaced ultimate loyalty.
• 11:51
  Exactly. It revealed where her treasure
• 11:53
  truly was, and this connects directly to another saying of
• 11:56
  Jesus in Luke 9.62. No one who puts his hand to the
• 12:00
  plow and looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God.
• 12:03
  The plow image you need to look forward to plow straight.
• 12:06
  Right. You can't do the work
• 12:07
  effectively if you're constantly glancing over your shoulder,
• 12:09
  longing for what was. Looking back shows you're not
• 12:12
  fully committed to the task at hand, not fully focused on the
• 12:15
  Kingdom goal. It signals a heart that's still
• 12:18
  attached to the old life. So remembering Locke's wife is a
• 12:21
  warning against that kind of spiritual nostalgia that pulls
• 12:24
  us away from wholehearted commitment.
• 12:26
  Keep your eyes forward. Keep your eyes forward, yes.
• 12:29
  Don't let longing for the past, even a seemingly easier past,
• 12:33
  derail your present faithfulness.
• 12:35
  OK, this is It's a lot. Striving, vigilance,
• 12:38
  perseverance, avoiding internal pitfalls, external deceptions,
• 12:42
  not looking back. It sounds quite demanding,
• 12:45
  doesn't it? Almost burdensome.
• 12:46
  It can sound that way, absolutely.
• 12:48
  So how do we possibly square all of this, this hard narrow path
• 12:53
  with those beautiful invitations from Jesus in Matthew 11?
• 12:57
  Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
• 13:00
  you rest. My yoke is easy and my burden is
• 13:03
  light. Yes, the $1,000,000 question it.
• 13:05
  Feels like a direct contradiction.
• 13:07
  Hard path, easy yoke, striving rest.
• 13:10
  How do those fit together? It's a crucial question, and
• 13:12
  understanding the answer is key to, well, everything in the
• 13:15
  Christian life, really. The feeling of burden often
• 13:18
  comes from a misunderstanding, A natural human tendency maybe.
• 13:21
  What tendency is that? We tend to think that when God
• 13:24
  gives a command, he then sort of steps back.
• 13:27
  Like he gives us the task list and says, OK, go do it, let me
• 13:30
  know how it goes. We assume it's all up to our own
• 13:33
  effort, our own strength. Right, like he sets the bar and
• 13:35
  we have to jump over it ourselves.
• 13:37
  Exactly. But Jesus himself strongly
• 13:40
  criticized the religious leaders of his day for that very thing
• 13:44
  He said They load people with burdens hard to bear, and you
• 13:47
  yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your
• 13:49
  fingers. So Jesus isn't like that.
• 13:52
  He doesn't just pile on demands without helping.
• 13:54
  He is completely different. His commands are never meant to
• 13:57
  crush us under their weight because he never intends for us
• 14:00
  to carry them alone. That's the absolute core of it.
• 14:02
  OK, so if his yoke is easy and his burden light, how does that
• 14:07
  connect to the striving the hard path?
• 14:09
  Where does the help come from that makes the hard path
• 14:12
  bearable, even light? The connection, the bridge
• 14:15
  between the hard path and the light yoke, is found entirely in
• 14:19
  Jesus's work in fulfilling the New Covenant.
• 14:21
  The new Covenant. OK, let's unpack that.
• 14:23
  Some listeners might hear Covenant and think it sounds a
• 14:26
  bit theological or abstract. What does it mean simply?
• 14:29
  Think of a covenant as a binding promise, a solemn agreement
• 14:33
  established by God defining his relationship with his people.
• 14:37
  It's more than a contract, it's relational.
• 14:39
  OK. A relational promise.
• 14:41
  So what's new about this one compared to, say, the Old
• 14:45
  Testament law given to Moses? Great question.
• 14:48
  The sources highlight the difference.
• 14:50
  The prior covenant, the Mosaic Law, had God's commands written
• 14:53
  on stone external rules. Like the 10 commandments.
• 14:57
  Right. A standard given from the
• 14:58
  outside, which people were expected to obey through their
• 15:01
  own effort. It showed God's will, but it
• 15:04
  didn't inherently provide the power to live up to it
• 15:06
  perfectly. OK, external law.
• 15:08
  How is the new covenant different?
• 15:10
  The New Covenant, which was promised centuries before Jesus
• 15:13
  by prophets like Jeremiah, involved a radical shift.
• 15:16
  God promised I will put my law within them and I will write it
• 15:20
  on their hearts. Written on their hearts, not on
• 15:23
  stone. Exactly.
• 15:24
  From external regulation to internal transformation, It's
• 15:27
  not just about knowing the rules.
• 15:28
  It's about having the law become part of your very being, your
• 15:32
  desires, your will, your affections.
• 15:34
  So. The law moves inside, but how
• 15:35
  does that actually make someone obey?
• 15:38
  Just having it there doesn't automatically mean you follow
• 15:40
  it, does it? But it's not just placed there
• 15:43
  passively. This internal writing, this
• 15:46
  transformation, is accomplished through the gift and the work of
• 15:48
  the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit.
• 15:50
  OK. The prophet Ezekiel explained
• 15:52
  how this would work. God said He would put my Spirit
• 15:55
  within you and cause you to walk in my statutes.
• 15:58
  He promised to replace our unresponsive heart of stone with
• 16:02
  a living heart of flesh. Heart of stone to heart of
• 16:04
  flesh. What does that mean practically?
• 16:07
  A heart of stone is hard, cold, resistant to God's ways.
• 16:11
  It might obey externally, out of duty or fear, but it doesn't
• 16:15
  want to. A heart of flesh is soft, alive,
• 16:18
  responsive. The Spirit works within that new
• 16:20
  heart to actually create the desire and the ability to follow
• 16:24
  God's ways. He causes us to walk in them.
• 16:26
  So God doesn't just give commands, He gives the desire
• 16:31
  and the power to obey them through His Spirit.
• 16:34
  Precisely. That's the revolutionary promise
• 16:36
  of the New Covenant. God provides not only the
• 16:39
  standard but also the internal enablement.
• 16:41
  He works within us to will and to do his good pleasure.
• 16:45
  And Jesus secured this covenant. Yes, Jesus purchased this new
• 16:49
  covenant relationship with His own blood shed on the cross,
• 16:53
  which secured the forgiveness of sins needed for us to even
• 16:56
  receive the Spirit. Right, forgiveness first.
• 16:59
  And then he promised and sent the Holy Spirit, the Helper, the
• 17:02
  Comforter, to live inside his people, guiding them, empowering
• 17:06
  them, making that internal reality possible.
• 17:08
  OK, now I see the connection. So the command of stride isn't
• 17:11
  Jesus saying try harder on your own.
• 17:13
  Not at all. Because of the new Covenant,
• 17:15
  because of the indwelling Spirit, we are not left to
• 17:18
  ourselves in our striving. That changes everything.
• 17:20
  It really does. It brings that hymn verse to
• 17:22
  mind. From a mighty fortress is our
• 17:25
  God. Which one did we in our own
• 17:27
  strength confide? Our striving would be losing.
• 17:29
  We're not the right man on our side.
• 17:31
  Christ Jesus, it is he. Oh that's perfect.
• 17:34
  Luther absolutely nailed it there.
• 17:37
  That verse perfectly captures this dynamic.
• 17:40
  Our striving isn't futile self effort.
• 17:42
  It's not losing. Because Christ is on our side,
• 17:45
  not just externally but internally by His Spirit, our
• 17:49
  striving then becomes the experience of God's powerful
• 17:51
  striving for us and in us. So God is striving within us.
• 17:55
  Yes, He is fulfilling his promise to cause us to walk in
• 17:59
  His ways. It's like imagine pushing a very
• 18:01
  heavy cart up a hill. That's the holding path.
• 18:04
  But now imagine there's a powerful invisible motor inside
• 18:07
  the cart, helping you push. OK, you're still pushing, still
• 18:10
  striving. You're still engaged, putting in
• 18:12
  the effort, but it's not just your strength, it's your effort
• 18:15
  synergized with, empowered by God's much greater power working
• 18:19
  within you. So that's why the yoke is easy
• 18:21
  in the burden light, not because the standard is lowered, but
• 18:23
  because he provides the power. Exactly.
• 18:27
  The path is still narrow, the standard is still high, the
• 18:30
  dangers are still real. Perseverance is still required.
• 18:34
  But we're not doing it alone. God himself is working in US,
• 18:38
  enabling our obedience, making the impossible possible.
• 18:41
  Our striving becomes a participation in his work.
• 18:45
  That puts it all together beautifully, the call to strive,
• 18:48
  to be vigilant, to persevere. It's not a crushing weight
• 18:52
  because it's fundamentally enabled by God's own work in us
• 18:55
  through His Spirit, all secured by Jesus in the New Covenant.
• 18:59
  His yoke is light because He empowers us to carry it.
• 19:02
  What a freeing outlook that gives, doesn't it?
• 19:03
  Our effort matters, our choices matter, but it's not a lonely,
• 19:07
  unsupported struggle against impossible odds.
• 19:09
  It's not. It's a partnership, a
• 19:11
  participation in what God is already doing within us.
• 19:14
  Exactly. It's a gracious invitation to
• 19:16
  cooperate with his transforming work, which makes the path
• 19:18
  genuinely accessible, not just theoretically possible.
• 19:21
  So for everyone listening as you go about your week, maybe think
• 19:24
  about this. How does knowing God is actively
• 19:26
  working in your striving change how you face daily tasks?
• 19:30
  Yeah. How does it change your approach
• 19:32
  to discernment when you encounter different teachings,
• 19:35
  or how you handle those moments of weariness on the path he's
• 19:38
  set for you? Does?
• 19:39
  It give you more confidence, more peace, less fear of
• 19:43
  failure. It really should.
• 19:45
  It's a thought that can reshape how we approach pretty much
• 19:48
  every aspect of life, knowing we're not left to our own
• 19:50
  devices. Well, thank you for joining us
