The Strait Gate and the Narrow Way | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the strait gate and the narrow way, built around the Savior’s invitation: “Enter ye in at the strait gate” (Matthew 7:13).

Follow a numbered map from a knock on the door to the will of the Father, then look closer at the details. Context and two Greek words help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the door, bread and stone, fish and serpent, the golden rule, two gates, wolves, grapes and thorns, and the good tree
• Where are you on the path? Asking and waiting, pulled by the crowd, feeling alone, or wanting to know Him, with check-ins
• Find the gate: fill in the Savior’s promises, with space for your own next step
• Their world, their words: the gate named in 2 Nephi 31, the keeper of the gate, “Ye never knew me,” and the Greek words for “strait” and “narrow”
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with Nephi’s and Jacob’s witness
• Seek Him today: the Savior’s invitation, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Matthew 6–7, lessons on prayer, choices and baptism, and youth or Primary classes any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
