KneEmail
“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10).
Mike Benson, Editor
ARISTARCHUS, MARK AND Justus were the only Jewish Christians who stood with Paul…
The others may have been those of whom Paul wrote, “The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains” (Philippians 1:15-16). Yes, only three!
There were only a few saved in the ark (1 Peter 3:20-21).
Only two of those twenty old and upward, who came out of Egypt, entered the promise land (Numbers 32:11-12).
Sardis had only “a few names” who had not defiled their garments (Revelation 3:4).
Jesus said, “Many are called, but few chosen” (Matthew 20:16).
He also said “there are few who find” the difficult way and narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14).
May the Lord help us to stand among the few. (Wendell Winkler)
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).
Enjoy this day as you prepare for the Lord’s Day!
