A Narrow Door – to Where?

He went through one town and village after another, teaching and making His way to Jerusalem. “Lord,” someone asked Him, “are there few being saved?”

He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because I tell you, many will try to enter and won’t be able once the homeowner gets up and shuts the door. Then you will stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up for us!’ He will answer you, ‘I don’t know you or where you’re from.’ Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets!’ But He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you’re from. Get away from Me, all you workers of unrighteousness!’ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in that place, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrown out. They will come from east and west, from north and south, and recline at the table in the kingdom of God. Note this: some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
(Luke 13:22-30 HCSB ©®)

This door is an entrance to the Kingdom, not to being born of Yahweh. The people who don’t make every effort to enter this door before it is closed will see those who entered it, but won’t be able to enter it themselves. The last being first and the first being last has nothing to do with being born again.

Make every effort to enter the place in your life and ministry and town and nation where Jesus is reigning. As you enter the Kingdom here you will obtain an inheritance in it after the door is closed.
