Luke 13:23

Jesus
Salvation

21 It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

22 Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

25 After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
