Who will be saved? It's a human question which flows from the need we have to possess information. Information is power for some of us, at least over those without it. Notice that Jesus refused to give a formula or say how many would be involved. He simply reminds Israel that the time for deciding is drawing near, and those hated Gentiles might arrive in eternity before God's chosen people! It was not Good News to his listeners. It will take commitment and focus--no chance that someone could fall into salvation by accident. Unless life is just a game and the New Testament has misled us, then it is really possible to walk right past the "open door" that leads to heaven and refuse to enter. One must be looking for the door and intend to go in.
Have you given much thought to the intentionality with which we must approach eternity, or do you think we will all end up there anyway? It's a really important question, and deserves our time and reflection.
Traveling along with you,
Pastor Paul
