He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.(Luke 13:22-24 ESV)
Keeping in line with His practice of not directly answering a question, Jesus introduces the parable He will use with this exhortation. In other words... yes. Having already pointed out our tendency toward spiritual slackness, ignoring the eternal, He tells us to head toward the door - now. Don't wait; get it in gear; become a part of the Kingdom today.
