Entrance Is Through The Narrow Door (Luke 13:22-30)

As Jesus travels along, the people of Israel are having difficulty embracing the words of Jesus. Jesus has been preaching repentance and judgment with the indication that many out of Israel might not be saved. Someone in the crowds asks Jesus if it will really only be a few saved. Jesus responds that one can only enter through the narrow door and that many will try to enter the Kingdom and not be able. Many will be turned away because they did not really know Jesus and were not known by him. It is because many thought there religious upbringing or ethnic affiliations guaranteed entrance into the Kingdom of God. However, the narrow door means that only those who have truly heard the word of God and responded to his voice in genuine repentance will enter. We can assure ourselves of our relationship by testing whether we are people who hear the word of God and consistently and persistently obey it.
