Jesus, The Narrow Door

Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.  Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”  He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.”

-Luke 13:22-24

Have you ever wondered why Jesus (Yeshua) not only referred to himself in scripture as a door, but more specifically, a narrow door?  This suggests that entering heaven through Jesus (Yeshua) is not going to be as easy as we think!  Even Jesus (Yeshua) stated in this verse of scripture that MANY will try to enter and will not be able to!  WOW!!  Now that is Serious!  What that means is that many people are going to “think” they are saved through Jesus (Yeshua) and they are not going to make it into heaven!  Nowadays, there are so many people who call themselves “Christians,” who have just confessed with their mouth alone that they believe in Jesus and go to a church building every Sunday morning, but they are not filled up with the Holy Spirit!  And the Bible specifically says that if you do not have the Holy Spirit (God) living on the inside of you, then you are NOT His!  Now that is POWERFUL!  And it is something that we all need to take Seriously because the Lord God is coming very soon!  The Bible is clear when it says that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God!  So if our physical flesh cannot inherit what is in heaven, then what can???  The Holy Spirit living on the inside of us!!!  Spirit can only inherit what is spiritual!  Flesh can only inherit what is fleshly!  What resides in heaven is everything spiritual, not flesh!  So that means we have to have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us in order for us to make it to heaven!  There are so many so-called “Chrisitians” who believe that just confessing with your mouth that you believe in Jesus is enough to get you to heaven, yet they completely say NOTHING about the Holy Spirit!  Yet even Jesus (Yeshua) himself -the perfect, spotless, Lamb of God- had to be baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River for the remission of sins, where he later recieved the Holy Spirit like a dove that lighted on his shoulder!  So there is much more to Salvation according to the Word of God that many people do not acknowledge!  There are many people who are going to be taken by Surprise when they find that they did not make it through the narrow door because they didn’t even make it to the doorstep!!  And Jesus (Yeshua) says that we are to make EVERY effort to enter through him!  So today, make every effort to press through all the traditionalism and deception of this world hindering many from the Truth to find and obtain the Holy Spirit, which is the key that unlocks the narrow door who is Jesus (Yeshua)!
