The sure way of faith in Jesus Christ is better than ten thousand ways of reaching heaven.
“Who will actually enter the Kingdom of God?” “Will there be only few saved?” In today’s gospel (Lk 13:22-30), Jesus speaks to us that He is the only way – the narrow way to heaven. Heaven is at the end of our journey. God has prepared for us the eternal life where all our weariness will end. Eternal life is for all. Salvation is offered to all.
There is no favoritism in the Kingdom of God. Entrance to heaven is not easy. One who struggles for it will get into it. This means those who struggles and suffer for the sake of the truth, justice, peace and love will enter into it.
Salvation depends somehow on our co-operation, our personal decision and the intensity of our efforts. If we make a response, God will not fail us because He is compassion and loving God. His love is unconditional. He wants everyone to be saved because “His kindness towards us,” God wants all, not a few, ALL to be saved (see 1 Tim 2:4).
