Reflection on Luke 13

Reflection on Luke 13

Who is the narrow door?
Jesus is the NARROW DOOR and the only way to have access to God and have relationship with God.

There is no other way to have a TRUE life that your heart was created for and a REAL life that your soul craves.

Do not strive hopelessly trying to live for people to satisfy you and always relying on others to make you feel "special". Romantic love, friends, clothing, houses and cars are not the way and they will NOT satisfy.

Your heart will only be satisfied when it is finally fed by being in communion with Jesus daily.

Do not endlessly go from one addiction and temporal high to the next trying to fulfill your life-long 'thirsts' and 'hungers'.Wealth, career, fame, popularity, are not the way to live a TRUE life and they will not satisfy.

Your soul will only be satisfied when it is finally fed by being in communion with Jesus daily.

Luke 13:22-30
22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’
28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”
