 * __Luke 13:22-30__**

Jesus passed through towns and villages,  teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.  Someone asked him,  “Lord, will only a few people be saved?”  He answered them,  “Strive to enter through the narrow gate,  for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter  but will not be strong enough.  After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door,  then will you stand outside knocking and saying,  ‘Lord, open the door for us.’  He will say to you in reply,  ‘I do not know where you are from.’  And you will say,  ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’  Then he will say to you, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> ‘I do not know where you are from. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> Depart from me, all you evildoers!’ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> and you yourselves cast out. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> And people will come from the east and the west <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> and from the north and the south <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> For behold, some are last who will be first, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,;"> and some are first who will be last.”

Jesus was walking down a path towards Jerusalem when a man asked him, "Will only a few be saved?" Jesus told him that the gate is narrow and the kingdom is fit for many. He said, there are people coming from different places. Go to the door to enter the gate. You will be asked questions, but not everyone will be allowed in. If you are an evildoer you will be cast out. There is space at the table for the ones who came first will be last and the one who came last will be first.
 * Summary**


 * Reflection**

Jesus is teaching us that He and God left room for the those who believe in him. Also, many will be saved. Jesus doesn't just want specific people to enter into his Kingdom. He is teaching us that we are all loved by God equally. The evildoer will be wailing and grinding of teeth when they see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God. Evildoers will be cast out from the Kingdom so we can be safe. This can be in everyday life by not allowing the evildoers that you know not to enter into your life. People who might be tempted to do evil things in life like drugs, violent actions, death, suicide will get punished by God.

This teaching shows us a lot that we have to learn about. We need to live this message because if we don't we might not make it to Heaven. Also, if we don't live this in our every day life, we will never be nice or respectful toward others or ourselves. What we can do to live it out is to always follow the rules and do always good. Living the Ten Commandments is another way you can live by Jesus. You can also live it by having good manners to others, and always having a smile on your face. These examples show that we would live through the message to go to the Kingdom of God. It also shows because we are not evildoers in our actions. We are good doers.

Dear God, Please allow us to be nice, respectful, and helpful throughout our life, so we can go to your Kingdom. Help us fallow through Jesus' path. Lead us away from evil, and prevent us from wronging. Help us to do my best in life with others to lead them when they are facing evil. Help us grow closer to you, for when we go to Heaven we will be Joyful forever with you. Amen
