n this episode, Father Isaac explores the paradox of Jesus’ teaching: everyone is welcome in the Kingdom of God, yet the gate is narrow. Drawing from school memories of “elite clubs,” the Babylonian exile, and the Pharisees’ misplaced confidence, he shows how salvation isn’t about belonging to the right group or holding the right credentials.

The narrow door is humility itself — the willingness to admit our need for God’s mercy and to surrender our pride. Unlike exclusive clubs, heaven isn’t for the elite, but for the broken, repentant, and humble who trust God’s grace more than their own strength.

📖 “Strive to enter through the narrow door.” — Luke 13:24
