AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 22:14 "For many are called (invited, summoned), but few are chosen." |
Subject: LET US HEED TO THE CALL |
Bible Note: What has been revealed to me about Matt 22:14 is that many are called to salvation, but few are chosen to follow our Lord (forsaking the way of the world, and even our own lives, for the sake of furthering the gospel of Jesus Christ). Notice that throughout the New Testament, the Lord saved those (the many) who professed their belief in Him. However, the Lord only chose the original 12 disciples (or apostles) to forsake their lives and follow Him. And, of the 12, only 3 (Peter, James and John) were permitted deeper revelation knowledge of the person of Christ. Were the multitude of people whom the Lord granted spiritual healing and restoration any less saved than the apostles? No. We'll see them in heaven right along with the apostles and the rest who are chosen to follow our Lord and to serve Him. Stay blessed! |
