Every Day Is An Opportunity

Luke 13:23-24  

"Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? 

And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the 

strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will 

seek to enter in, and shall not be able." 

    Through our reading of God's word, we believe through faith that the Kingdom of God will be victorious, but Jesus recognized that it would be difficult for some to accept the Kingdom of God. The disciples were aware of the difficulty which many would approach the Kingdom, so they ask Jesus, "Are they few that will be saved." Jesus did not answer their question with a fancy theory; He insisted that man strive to enter the Kingdom of God.  In other words, a man must struggle as for a prize in a contest, "give it your all."

   The strait gate is the only means of entering the Kingdom, and only few will be able to enter, even though many may attempt to find it. The essentials of the Kingdom Citizenship are defined by God not man.

   My Friends, Jesus demonstrates the abuse of opportunity by referring to the householder who had closed his door for the night. The frustrated and false hopes held by those outside will become judgments upon them. Their own confessions remind them of wasted opportunities. Every Day Is An Opportunity, Don't Waste It! 

Amen!
