Day 28 – The Narrow Door
As Spiritual Sojourners
and Believers, we are taught that obtaining eternal life is not an easy task. Jesus
Christ taught that there is a narrow door that leads to God’s Kingdom and many
people will not choose to enter into that door. In Matthew
7:13-14 and Luke 13:23-24, Jesus Christ said that He is that door… Complete

Did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the Door.”
Scriptural Basis for the Narrow Door
Luke 13: 22-30 NLT
22Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching
as he went, always pressing on toward Jerusalem. 23Someone asked
him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, 24“Work hard to
enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will
fail. 25When the master of the house has locked the door, it will
be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door
for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ 26Then
you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our
streets.’ 27And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or
where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.’ 28“There
will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, for you will see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you will be thrown out. 29And
people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to
take their places in the Kingdom of God. 30And note this: Some who
seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the
greatest now will be least important then.” Luke 13 NLT @ http://biblehub.com/nlt/luke/13.htm
*Special Affirmation – As a Believer, my Father God blesses me with the
gift of salvation which leads to eternal life because I fully acknowledge that
I am a sinner who readily accepts his Holy Son Jesus Christ as the only door
for obtaining eternal life for entry into God’s Kingdom. As a Believer, I am
Blessed Daily. My Father, the Great I Am honors my faith by allowing me into His
Kingdom.
Question: “Just How Narrow is the Narrow
Gate?”
By The Got Questions? Organization
“Answer: The narrow gate, also called
the narrow door, is referred to by the Lord Jesus in Matthew
7:13-14 and Luke 13:23-24. Jesus compares the narrow gate to the “broad
road” which leads to destruction (hell) and says that “many” will be on that
road. By contrast, Jesus says that “small is the gate and narrow the road that
leads to life, and only a few find it.” What exactly is meant by this? Just how
many are the “many” and how few are the “few”? First, we need to
understand that Jesus
is the Door through which all must enter eternal life. There is no
other way because He alone is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
The way to eternal life is restricted to just one avenue—Christ. In this sense,
the way is narrow because it is the only way, and relatively few people will go
through the narrow gate. Many more will attempt to find an alternative route to
God…”
What Did Jesus mean when He said, “I am
the Door” (John 10:7)?
