Hi, my name is Carla Norse, and this is my husband Woody.

We're here at the beautiful Mount of Beatitudes reading Matthew 7, 12 through 23.

Please stand for the meaning of God's word.

So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them,

for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter by the narrow gate, for the gate is wide,

and the way is easy that leads to destruction.

And those who enter by it are many, for the gate is narrow and the way is easy that leads to destruction. And those who enter by it are many.

For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life.

And those who find it are few.

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

You will recognize them by their fruits.

Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?

So every healthy tree bears good fruit.

But the diseased tree bears bad fruit.

A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit.

Nor can a disease tree bear good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven.

But the one who does the will of my father, who is in heaven, on that day many will say

to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name
