Luke 13:23-35

23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”

He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’

28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”

Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem
31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”

32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[a]”

Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman

April 16th Helped to the realm of life

“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.” JOHN 14:19
We are not here preserving or protecting the self. Neither do we desire to save it. Our remaining open to hear the Body when the fellowship is transparent (Gal. 4:16) is a mercy from the Lord. And the consequence of such fellowship is that the Lord can do something. By our being open to the Body and not preserving our self, we can receive help from the saints. We are helped to be a person who relates in life rather than relating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So this is our prayer — that the Lord would bring us out of the realm of knowledge and into the realm of life. With the realm of life there is a flow and a supplied conscious- ness in our very being. This supplied consciousness is God Himself as life (John 14:19-20). This is also the way the Lord manifests Himself to us (John 14:21). In other words, life is experienced in the form of a consciousness. Life is God Himself in our very being. So when we fellowship with the Lord, it brings in the consciousness of His life (Rom. 8:16), and we treasure that consciousness because it is God Himself operating within us (Phil. 2:12-13). Out of this fellowship the Lord may restrain us from speaking something that may seem right, logical, and good. We are restrained by a feeling within, a consciousness. If we follow that consciousness and go along with it, we relate in the realm of life, not in the realm of knowledge. By this kind of experience we are led out of the ignorant self that does not know how to relate in the realm of life.
