Can You Shove Your Way Through a Narrow Door?

By Mark Lauer on Sunday, February 28, 2010
Luke 13:22-35

Jesus uses a series of illustrations to convey the idea of what the Kingdom of God is like-- soil in which a seed is planted and dough in which yeast is spread. We are to be "good soil" in which God plants and tends his Kingdom. We are to be willing "kneaded dough" through which God spreads his purpose. In both cases, we are changed. Jesus the uses a narrow door "picture" to invite others to enter that kingdom while the invitation exists.
