Daily Bible Thought > Luke 13:22-24 - Few Saved?

Luke13:22 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem. 13:23 One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them, 13:24 "Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

Here legal minded Jew's, and Christian's that reads Christ words first think of what effort they must brow beat their bodies into by self-will to be one whom are lucky enough to enter into Christ Jesus Kingdom to come. However, only the pride of the fleshly-mind could think they were worthy enough by self-will, self-goodness to earn enough good credit(s) by obeying certain laws in obtaining salvation into the Kingdom of God.

Romans 3:28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

But is this Christ Jesus meaning here? Well, not in context to all of God's word a letter to His children. But why would the the door be narrow and few finding it? Simply put, it take faith in Christ Jesus, and none other, and what does this mean? The whole world lays in the power of Satan, that is, religion, government, and commerce, all being built by laws of sinful human for sight and not faith!

Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Few will have faith enough in none other but God's provision for salvation, Christ Jesus, many would look every where else, but to the unseen, unheard, and unfelt, person, invisible in heaven, Jesus Christ. They would instead be weed-Christian's hoping in salvation through organized religion or some man's government claiming to be God's expression upon earth.

1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

But yet there is more, and what is that? The natural person does not receive the things of God, the things of God have been entrusted not to a sinful man, or men upon earth claiming to speak for God, they have been entrusted to God's own Son Christ Jesus. Moreover, a weed Christian does not change his nature into a new hybrid species of wheat, it not within weeds own power to do so.

It is only those having faith in Christ Jesus as the one seed of God that brings forth many branches into the life of Christ Jesus. Yes, few will find the life of Christ Jesus, the light, why light? Because light pictures Christ Jesus sinless righteousness life, earning us merit that cleansing the branches of the tree of life, Christ Jesus. Those having the faith, the few, are not proud workers of self-earned merit, weeds, they are humble servant given a gift of undeserved kindness of Christ Jesus earned merit as God's love. They have received the faith of Christ Jesus, the life of Christ Jesus, and they rest in Christ goodness as a branch, which is, God's Great Sabbath day of rest for mankind.

John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

Here are the few, not by self, but by God's goodness, they must stay in this faith hard to find upon earth rejected by the world, and those claiming to be of Christ Jesus, no easy task is saying goodby to all for the Kingdom of God.
