The old "Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to go to hell" is certainly close to reality but in the end Jesus says most will go to hell & few will go to heaven. Jesus says in Matthew 7:14, "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater (YouTube Channel CANSWERSTV, see our 19 playlists at https://www.youtube.com/user/CAnswersTV; websites: http://www.BIBLEQUERY.org, http://www.HISTORYCART.com, & http://www.MUSLIMHOPE.com) presents this excellent sermon on Luke 13:22-30 by Pastor Gregory Van Court.

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way And so, difficult to enter in at; and when entered, the way is unpleasant to the flesh to walk in. |
