While we are called to hand out citizenship applications for God’s Kingdom, we don’t determine who will be admitted. Jesus staffs the border so our entry doesn’t depend on the quality of our human passport but rather by the One who stands at the gate. Do we want to be directed into the lane where our lives are searched for sinful contraband or be waved into Heaven through the Via Dolorosa? The entry point into the kingdom is narrow, not because it is reserved for those with less sinful baggage, but because God manned it with only one Divine Border Agent.
