What is A/S/K?

[Tonus]

I've been seeing this a lot lately. Can anyone tell me? What does A/S/K mean/stand for?

A reference to Matthew 7:7-12

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, 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! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The more interesting question is how this is reconciled with verses 13 and 14:

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

God is good and it's as easy to know him as "ask, seek, knock." But, uh, most people will die because he won't reply, allow himself to be found, or answer the door. Or he made it easier to be destroyed than to be saved, but it's your fault. Perhaps it means that you can ask and seek and knock, but if god decided that your fate is destruction, you might have been better off taking a nap instead.
