Jesus continues to teach that while practicing righteousness, we cannot look down on others. He tells us God is looking out for our best, so we should ask him for what we need. As if it weren’t already obvious, Jesus lets his audience know entering God’s Kingdom isn’t easy.
Sometimes people feel trusting Christ is too easy of a way to enter a relationship with God. It’s not. We have to recognize we can never be good enough on our own and instead need to depend entirely on Jesus. Many individuals have way too much self-confidence to depend entirely on Jesus.
