Day 26- Jesus is the Narrow Door
Day 26- Jesus is the Narrow Door
It's December, winter has settled over the Judean mountains surrounding Jerusalem. On a hill overlooking the city, Jesus looks with passion over the people who He knows will soon reject Him. Many have come to celebrate the Feast of Dedication, or as we know as Hanukkah. The crowds continue to follow Jesus as He goes from town to town. The outcasts, the tax-collectors and sinners, love Jesus. He sits with them and expounds the Kingdom as if they were kings. The religious leaders are too dignified for such people and hate Jesus for His popularity among the untouchables. "If you are the Christ, tell us!" they demand. He does. "I and the Father are one". They pick up stones to kill Him yet one more time. His time is near, but not yet, and it won't be with stones.
