How to go to heaven.

Pass on your life with all Christ and be able to enter through a narrow gate to Christ already here on earth the desire for heaven is powerful in man, and the desire to live once with God in eternal joy and happiness will never pass away. We also often ask ourselves the question, what will happen to us when we leave this world? What will happen next?
It must have bothered people in the time of Jesus. Not to mention that it must have upset them all the more so when God himself, Jesus, told them about salvation. He was the one who was most competent to talk about it because he knew well what it was all about. That this is about life, man. And out of a great desire to see the truth, and perhaps out of curiosity, someone took it he asked, “Lord, are there few who will be saved” (Lk 13:23)? He wondered so strangely.
There are a few of them … Why did he ask negatively? There are few of them, and no, there are many of them? I’d say it reveals the man’s idea of ​​how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God, and therefore it seems to him that there will probably not be many there. And maybe it seemed to him that everything Jesus said about salvation was quite hard. It seems to me as if he carried a fear in himself similar to those who took Jesus as well they asked, “Who then can be saved” (Lk 18:26) when it is so difficult to keep your word and the commands you are telling us here.
Jesus did not answer the man who was asking in the way he was expecting. He did not say how many would be saved. As if to say it doesn’t matter, don’t worry about it. But he began to talk about going to heaven. He said: “Strive to enter through the strait gate” (Lk 13:24). He used a picture of a gate that he explained instead because he had inserted himself into the image of the gate. That gate, indeed, he is alone. It says, ‘I am the gate.’ How does heaven go? Through the gate, which is Christ. And he is a tight game.
Why tight? For he alone is that gate; no one can replace him. Nobody
can imitate the silhouettes of his face, his person. Whether you’re slim or fat, either tall or small, it doesn’t matter. Anyone can walk through Jesus as a gate, decides to give him his life. He accepts everyone. For him, it is not a problem who what he looks like or what his figure is. For the light that flows from the silhouette of Jesus. The Spirit embraces the whole man. It penetrates to the tip of his bone. But then Jesus said what made us sad: “Many will try to enter, and they will not
to be able” (Lk 13: 24b). We ask why? What didn’t hit the gate? Or they went the wrong way?
Yes, there is a way to every gate. And the form also leads to God into God of the Kingdom. It is impossible to go there and not follow a path. Today we are they present many ways to come to bliss, and these are the paths on which man. He can experience a mound of experiences and fun as he twists in his head. It’s over, however, it is usually so that a person is disoriented and exhausted and falls to the ground. He finds out in pain that he was deceived because the path he took did not bring him peace, happiness, and true joy. How closely and inseparably the gate is connected with the way.
Who will show us the way? The path that will lead us to the gate. Everyone her we know. She is Jesus. Let’s remember him saying, “I’m the way, the truth and life” (Jn 15: 5). He lets us go after him. He gives us the grace to go in his light person, in the power of his Spirit. He guides us infallibly so that we do not get out of the way. Because, when we go along the main road, we sometimes notice turns, and we are tempted to look where those paths lead. The form and the gate are Jesus. The same Jesus is the way, and then so is the gate. If Jesus says that we should strive to enter through a narrow entrance, we must strive to follow in his footsteps along the way. And his footsteps take the shape of human feet: there are two, and the tracks from the lead only in one direction, always only forward. Never left or right, or backward. It cannot be followed Christ and at the same time live in sin. Jesus knows that sin tastes good to us because it is often pleasant. But it kills the human Spirit. And it is in this way; man has in Christ recognized that his nature suits him best when he loves. And it is possible to learn only in Christ truly. Only in Christ can we learn truly
to love God and people. Indeed, in faith, no one has seduced us even if we are on our way to experiencing difficulties.
Therefore, to follow his path also means to struggle. Fight for your own life, by which I will fill it. Fight for God so that I will not be torn from my heart. Wrestle for love. We will experience this match ideally on our skin when we decide to follow the path of Jesus. And even on our body, we will share that the course is narrow because it is only the path of love. Love that forgives the insults that come, sacrifices for others, and does not think about himself. There is no other option on it. I encourage myself and you to decide to go after every day again
his way. He will lead us on it, and we may survive on it what he experienced and he. After all, it is his path that means living Jesus’ life together with him. However, it is a clear and surest way that leads a person to the gate. And if we live in Christ here and now, we don’t have to worry about not hitting in his gates. He is a guarantee that we will hit her. And he will welcome us personally at the gate. It causes that we will see ourselves face to face and begin to experience, as never before his deep love, friendship with him.
Let’s pray together. Jesus, bring all the people on your path of truth
and accompany us on it yourself. Strengthen us with your merciful love. Bring us to the gate, to the place of our personal meeting. To when we try to come in, you have known us all and taken you in forever.
