    In this sermon on Luke 13:23-28 titled “Are There Few That Be Saved?” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones focuses on Christ answering a man’s question: “how many will be saved?” Instances like these, Dr. Lloyd-Jones says, allow the believer to see how Jesus walked and talked on Earth. These conversations are important because understanding how Christ acted clues Christians into how He has always been, since the beginning, and for eternity. Jesus answers, “Strive to enter through the narrow door.” Dr. Lloyd-Jones, however, wants to know why Christ answered so strangely. He didn’t quote a number or provide a list of names. Dr. Lloyd-Jones says Jesus didn’t answer because the question wasn’t important. It doesn’t matter how many people will be saved, but rather if the one asking will be saved. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that these types of questions reveal a person’s heart. The man asking Jesus wasn’t interested salvation. He wanted to approach Christ as an equal, to discuss matters of philosophy or theology. He concludes by saying that Jesus isn’t interested in discussion. His opinion is the only opinion that matters, and when it comes to salvation, Christ wants to see to a person’s soul, to show him or her His redemptive love.

      Excellent pastor. One thing to consider, the way I understand it the more comments and likes The MLJ Trust gets the more youtube will offer his sermons to others.

      @@phillipaj.5588 Bless you as well. Happy listening. I think there are 1600 total or so. By the way I’ve found that some sermons are not on youtube and need to be downloaded or listened to on the mlj trust website. I think there’s also one in the Spiritual Depression series that was released by Founders Ministries on youtube that I can not find in any other location.
