"IF JESUS CAME TODAY"


 
Matthew 7:13, 14 "Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way.  But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it.

The answer to Matthew 7:13,14 is below.

    IF JESUS CAME TODAY

                 By A.W. Tozer

    We will not have this man to reign over us. Luke 19:14

          People have asked me if our present generation would
    gladly accept Jesus if He came at this time, instead of
    2,000 years ago.  I have to believe that history does repeat
    itself!

          In our own day, many who want to follow the Christian
    traditions still balk and reject a thorough-going spiritual
    housecleaning within their own lives.

         When Jesus came, many realized that it would mean
    probable financial loss for them to step out and follow
    Christ.  Also, many of those men and women  who
    considered the claims of Christ in His day knew that
    following Him would call for abrupt and drastic changes
    in their patterns of living. The proud and selfish aspects
    of their lives would have been disturbed.

          Beyond that, there was an almost complete disdain for
    the inward spiritual life which Jesus taught as a necessity
    for mankind; that it is the pure in heart who will see God!

         I am afraid that humanity's choice would still be the
    same today. People are still more in love with money and
    pride and pleasure than they are with God and His
    salvation!
