Through the Narrow Door

How challenging is it to get your foot into the door of God’s kingdom?
The door to our salvation is a narrow door according to Jesus. While many will seek to enter God’s kingdom, many will not be able.
In the gospel of Luke, Jesus went went through towns and villages, teaching as he traveled toward Jerusalem. As he went someone said to him, “‘Lord, will those who are saved be few?’ And he said to them, ‘Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.’” (Luke 13:22-24, ESV).
Jesus sought to teach throughout all the towns and villages so that all might know him and the good news of his salvation.
When asked if those who would be saved would be few, Jesus taught that we should make a great effort to enter his kingdom through the narrow door.
Jesus said that many people would seek to enter the narrow door of salvation and would not be able to.
May we strive with all our might to enter the narrow door of salvation and enter into God’s good kingdom.
A Prayer for a Spirit of Evangelism: “Almighty God our Savior, you desire that none should perish, and you have taught us through your Son that there is great joy in heaven over every sinner who repents: Grant that our hearts may ache for a lost and broken world. May your Holy Spirit work through our words, deeds, and prayers, that the lost may be found and the dead made alive, and that all your redeemed may rejoice around your throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (#20., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
