[on-hold music] Welcome to Gospel and Life. Why does the truth of the gospel make some people uneasy? Most are comfortable talking about spiritual searching, but when Jesus claims that He is the only path to salvation, many people view that as oppressive. Today, Tim Keller shows us how the gospel is not arrogant, but instead is humble, gracious, and available to anyone. It is an exclusive truth, but it is the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.

[on-hold music] "Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you then, though you are evil, [chuckles] know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him. So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
