When Jesus's disciples asked him how many would be saved, he replied, " the path that leads to the kingdom of God is narrow and difficult, and few ever find it."
And so the joy of my own salvation is largely crushed by the knowledge that most of the people I've ever known, including most of my family, will spend eternity screaming in an incomprehensible agony of despair and hopelessness in hell.
It eludes me how I, or anyone else, could go skipping happily off through the daisies with Jesus while just beneath our feet such unbearable tragedy will be constantly playing out. Maybe that's one of the reasons Jesus was a man of sorrows.
It is troubling to say the least - any thoughts?
