Reflections on Today’s Gospel
Gospel Verse: Luke 13: 22-30
1. How do I know that I am inside or outside the kingdom? What is my understanding of the narrow door? How can I be sure that I have entered through the narrow door?
2. Do I realize that entry through the narrow door will involve a struggle? What will that struggle be for me?
3. If I were to stand before God right now and He said “Why should I let you into My kingdom?”, what would I say?
