What do you mean the doors are locked?

The Bible tells us over and over again that there is a Heaven and there is a Hell and contrary to popular belief one place will be more crowded than the other. Jesus says this again in Luke 13: 24-27

²² Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he went, always pressing on toward Jerusalem. ²³ Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, ²⁴ “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. ²⁵ When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ ²⁶ Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ ²⁷ And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.’

 Jesus says here many will try to get in and will fail, then goes on to give the analogy of a house with a locked door. Can you just imagine someone desperately pounding on the doors of Heaven trying to get in? Makes me think of Black Friday with all those people lined up waiting to get in, they just assume that at a certain time the doors will open and they will get in. But what if after all that time, waiting for hours to get that flat screen for $5, that the doors never open. Imagine if the doors remain locked and they were never going to get in. Can you imagine the riot that would break out all for the $5 flat screen? They would say but we shop here all the time, I know the Sally the checker. My kids go to the same school as the store manager’s kids. Still the doors remain locked and no matter who or what you think you know, you’re still not getting in. These people after all don’t want the flat screen TV, they want the $5 flat screen. If they really truly, needed the TV they would have bought in on Thursday when the store was open. Entrance to Heaven is not free, it cost Jesus his life. If you don’t want to be locked out you had better develop a relationship with him now, ask for forgiveness and repent of your sins now before the doors are locked and it’s too late. Because some time, and no one knows when, the doors will close and there will be many locked out never to get in. Many who always thought that just because they went to church sometimes, or because they gave money to the poor, or because that they were “good” people that they were in. They will all be shocked when at Heaven’s gates or judgment day Jesus says I never knew you go away.
