Right now is the time for us to determine whether or not we're going to fit through. If you depend on yourself, you'll never get through. When Jesus said, Strive to enter in at the strait gate, He was using a picture that everybody can understand. Well, to look at the lives of some people who call themselves Christians, you'd think the door of heaven was very wide indeed. Even though I'm not the best person, I'm sure there will be room for me.
All roads eventually lead to the same place.
He wanted how many people there would be in heaven. You notice that Jesus doesn't really answer the man's question. For many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Not at all. A group who will be so surprised to be excluded from heaven on Judgment Day that they shall begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
