Luke Ch. 13 Verses 22-30
The Narrow Door : He went through cities
and towns teaching-- all the while making
his way toward Jerusalem. Someone asked
him. "Lord, are they few in number who
are to be saved ?" He replied: "Try to
come in through the narrow door. Many
I tell you , will try to enter and be unable.
When once the master of the house has
risen to lock the door and you stand outside
knocking and saying, "Sir , open for us, ' he
will say in reply, "I do not know where you
come from." Then you will begin to say,
"We ate and drank in your company. You
taught in our streets." But he will answer ,
"I tell you, I do not know where you come
from. Away from me, you evildoers !"
"There will be wailing and grinding
of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
and all the prophets safe in the Kingdom
of God, and you yourselves rejected. People
will come from the east and the west,
from the north and the south, and will take
their place at the feast in the kingdom of
God. Some who are last will be first
and some who are first will be last."
