Scripture: Luke 13: 24-25

²⁴ “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. ²⁵ When 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.’ 

Scripture Commentary:

Let’s say that you, your family and friends have been invited to a special gathering at a very special person’s house; however, you all are out in the world enjoying what is currently important to you. Time slips away, and then you remember the invitation. Now you and your group decide to go. But is it too late?

When you arrive, you knock on the door and the person inside asks, “Who is it?” You identify yourselves; however, the person inside replies, “Go away, I do not know you.” You remind the person who you are but are reminded that when the invitation was first sent, you did not respond. Now it is too late. You decided that other things were more important.

We are invited daily into God’s presence.

When Jesus asked his disciples to follow him, they dropped everything. God gives us every second of the day to follow Him. Daily we are invited into His presence.

This may be your last invitation before you die. Repent. Accept Jesus Christ as God’s Only Begotton Son. Death is only the beginning, not the end. Christ is eternity.
