The sermon is from Luke 13:22-30 – “The Narrow Gate into the Narrow Way”.  “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” – Luke 13:23

How many people will be in heaven? Some may ask this question in a speculative sort of way. It is interesting in our passage that the preaching and teaching of Christ prompted the question. What in his preaching created such dim prospects for mankind? Notice verse 24, Christ states (and it is a commandment), “Strive to enter through the narrow door.” We are certainly reminded of Christ’s teaching in Matthew, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:13-14). The wiser question is, “Will I be in heaven? Will YOU be in heaven?”
