Luke 13:23-28

23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

A prayer for witnesses:

Remind us again
How it would be
Without You
For all eternity

Remind us again
That we were lost
In a sea of ourselves
When we were boss

Remind us again
About our pain
The frustrating search
That was in vain

Remind us again
Help us burn
For Your children
Who won’t turn

Remind us again
That they aren’t free
They don’t understand
And can not be

Remind us again
What they would reap
What it means to gnash
And how it feels to weep

Remind us again
But hear our plea
Don’t say to them
Depart from Me

Remind us again
What to say and how
Use us all Lord
Show them home now
