Jesus invites us to be All In as we join him and follow him through the small gate and narrow path of discipleship. The gate is small and the path is narrow because we are willing to say “no” to all the options of life and say “yes” only to Jesus. There will be people who will try to deceive us and distract us from the true path. In the end, we’ll know who they are by the fruit of their lives. A true disciple is one who follows Jesus so well that they actually get to know Jesus.

With other’s faults showing clearly, it is easy to judge ourselves as better. Jesus challenges us to follow a simple rule – treat others as you would like to be treated. And to do that, we need to pursue God to learn from him how to best love our neighbors as ourselves.
