—Luke 13:22-30

It is important that we do regular self-evaluations of our walk with Christ. In this passage, Jesus’ condemnation was not of the man in the street who did not accept Him. The individuals who would be shut out of the kingdom were individuals who knew of Christ but failed to follow His leading. Many individuals go to church all the time but refuse to make a commitment to do as Jesus commands. They want to enter on their own terms. Jesus said, “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (v.24). Respond to Jesus’ calling on your life while you are still able.
