Text: Luke 13:22-30 ; Isaiah 25:6-9
This week takes a look at another passage (Luke) where Jesus speaks of entering through a narrow portal – this time, a door. The door is spoken of in connection with the eschatological banquet in the kingdom of God. When the entire passage is examined, however, there seems to be quite a few people who enter into the kingdom. So what did Jesus mean when he said the door was narrow? Who shrunk the door? The passage in Isaiah and the reinterpretations of it found in the intertestamental period provide clues that point toward a possible answer.
