The Narrow Gate
Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. Lk. 13 : 23-24
Why is the gate to Heaven so narrow.
Because you can only take one thing with you through the gate.
And that is love
We have to let go of everything else.
Our pride and envy;
Our anger and our grudges;
Our selfishness and our prejudice.
If we hope to pass through the narrow gate into Heaven.
The rich cannot buy their way into Heaven.
The powerful cannot force their way into Heaven.
The selfish cannot carry their possessions into Heaven for the gate is too narrow.
There is room only for the love in our hearts
To pass through the narrow gate.
Everything else must be left behind.
