Bible Note: Doc - a narrow gate it is indeed! When we visited Greece and went to the site of Lydia's baptism, the stream had been reinforced with concrete in an area to represent that place. As I looked at the construction it appeared as two funnels - wide at the mouth, narrow with steps leading down into the baptismal area and then wide again. "Many are called but few are chosen", came to mind when I stood there. Jesus does not call us to remain "dead dogs" (yet I understand more about how sinful I am as I grow in Him); He has called us to an abundant life, free in Him - to enjoy His presence and reflect His love to other "dead dogs."
