讀經：路加福音第十三章。
默想：耶穌對眾人說：「你們要努力進窄門。我告訴你們：將來有許多人想要進去，卻是不能。」（路13:24）
默想一：人只要努力行善，多做好事，積功德就能換得基督的救恩嗎？行不通的。主耶穌所說的「努力進窄門」，是指真心相信祂的就必須「信入」窄門。一旦進窄門就得付代價走十字架的路。主的路雖然窄小難行，選擇的人不多，但確定是通往永生之路。朋友，你正走在正確的路上嗎？若不對，及時地轉向主吧！祂會幫助祢。
默想二：為什麼主耶穌要我們把握機會「努力進窄門」？因為那機會由不得自己。通往天國的窄門一旦關上，我們都無法擠進去。只能在門外咬牙切齒。主耶穌應許說：「天國是努力進入的，努力的人就得著了。」（太11:12）
禱告：天父上帝，感謝祢在基督裡所賜的救恩之門。求祢指引我，讓我專心仰賴袮，免得被世界的寬路所迷惑，也不被這世界的潮流所分心。天國的窄路有許多的挑戰，但我心堅定，一生永遠跟隨祢。奉主耶穌的名禱告。阿們！
Bible Reading: Luke 13.
Insight: “Jesus said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.”” (Luk 13:24)
Insight one: As long as people strive to do many good things, will they then be able to exchange that for the salvation of Christ? This is not possible. What the Lord Jesus said “make every effort to enter through the narrow door” means that those who truly believe in Him must “believe into” the narrow door. Once you enter the narrow door, you have to pay the price of walking the narrow way of the cross. Although the Lord’s way is narrow and hard, and there are not many people who want to choose, it is certainly the way to eternal life. Friends, are you on the right path? If not, turn to the Lord in time! He will help you.
Insight two: Why does the Lord Jesus want us to seize the opportunity to “make every effort to enter through the narrow door”? This is because the opportunity is not under ours control. Once the narrow door to heaven is closed, we can no longer squeeze into. We can only gnash our teeth outside the door. The Lord Jesus promised, “The Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people are attacking it” (Mat 11:12).
Prayer: God Heavenly Father, thank You for the door of salvation that You have given in Christ. Please guide me, let me trust in You with all my heart, lest I be misled by the wide-opened roads of the world or distracted by the trends of this world. There are many challenges on the narrow path of the kingdom of heaven, but my heart is steadfast and I will follow You forever. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen!
