LUKE 13:24-25
‘Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, “Lord, open to us”, then in reply he will say to you, “I do not know where you come from.”
---- Mine,
It is not easy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven for although all are invited few are prepared to pick up their cross daily and follow Me. The road is narrow, the way hard, and the yoke heavy. The world prefers self-indulgence, ease, comfort, pleasure, the delights of the flesh, The world spends endless amounts of time in useless pastimes but only a few are prepared to live the Gospel. There is no easy road to eternal joy. The Kingdom of God must be taken by force but few are prepared to do violence to the desires of the flesh, live a life of self-annihilation, and thus lay claim to the greatest prize - You, the Son of God.
