Jesus came for the lost, the lame, the blind, the prisoners, those who are bowed down etc. One of the greatest truths of the bible is that Jesus came to die, in order to save those who are in this condition, yet very few see themselves in this way nor are they willing to accept it even if God would come down on His throne to tell them! This generation is just like the generation amongst whom Jesus was when He came to preach His gospel of salvation, because many want the benefits of the gospel, but not many want to accept their condition as mental prisoners and Spiritually blind! Salvation isn't for those who are healthy and have it all together, but it is for those who recognize their wretched and sinful condition before God!
A DISCIPLE OF JESUS ASKED HIM, LORD, ARE THERE FEW THAT WILL BE SAVED ? AND JESUS ANSWERED, "" STRIVE "" TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE, FOR MANY, I SAY UNTO YOU, WILL SEEK TO ENTER IN, BUT SHALL "" NOT "" BE ABLE LUKE 13,23-24. JESUS SAID THAT THE WAY TO ENTER IS NARROW, AND ONLY A FEW WILL FIND IT MAT 7,14.
