13:26 {7} Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
(7) It is vain to be in the Church if one is not of the Church; and whether or not one is in the Church is shown by the purity of life.
13:26,27 We have eaten and drank in thy presence. Compare with Mt 7:22, where see notes.
13:23-30 Our Saviour came to guide men's consciences, not to gratify their curiosity. Ask not, How many shall be saved? But, Shall I be one of them? Not, What shall become of such and such? But, What shall I do, and what will become of me? Strive to enter in at the strait gate. This is directed to each of us; it is, Strive ye. All that will be saved, must enter in at the strait gate, must undergo a change of the whole man. Those that would enter in, must strive to enter. Here are awakening considerations, to enforce this exhortation. Oh that we may be all awakened by them! They answer the question, Are there few that shall be saved? But let none despond either as to themselves or others, for there are last who shall be first, and first who shall be last. If we reach heaven, we shall meet many there whom we little thought to meet, and miss many whom we expected to find.
