Luke 13: 22-30 Aug 24-25 Will we be "saved"?

Send us Fan MailLuke’s Gospel is very typical of Jesus style.  We have read events where Jesus takes an accepted view, custom, or perception and reinterprets into something different.  Often when Jesus is asked a question, he invites the questioner into a deeper meaning.  What exactly did Jesus mean when he talks about the narrow gate.  Let’s look further.  Jesus asks if many will be saved.  Likely behind that question is the more personal question, Will I be saved?  The question is a result of the individual’s uncertainty and maybe a bit of fear.  Unfortunately for many, the cornerstone of their faith is rooted in fear that they will be judged as not meeting to what they perceive as God’s demanding and arbitrary standards.  No wonder they find loving God difficult or their relationship with Him irrelevant.Complete our 1 Minute Survey
