Today's reading will cover the Book of Luke Chapters 13:22-14:33.

Today we will asking and answering the questions "how important is it to make Jesus the most important one in MY life?" and "why is it so important?" Today Jesus tells us himself that we are to make Him the most important one in our lives. If we don't, then we cannot follow Him. Why is this? Our daily readings are chronological and so what we are seeing is Jesus building upon the lessons that He is teaching us. We have learned this year that we are to make God the most important one in our lives. We confirmed this teaching yesterday when we read about a teacher of the law who asked Jesus how to obtain eternal life. Jesus then taught us that He and God are ONE, meaning that Jesus is also God. He is God's Son. Jesus taught us that He did not come to do whatever HE wanted to do, but He only does what the Father tells Him to do. Twice we have read confirmation from God Himself, first at Jesus' baptism and again at what we call the transfiguration, where God Himself spoke and was audibly heard to say, "Here is my Son. In Him I am well pleased." At the transfiguration God also said, "Listen to Him." If Jesus were not one with God then God would not be pleased with Him for saying so. But God IS pleased with Jesus and Jesus is telling us what the Father wants us to know. Therefore, since God and Jesus are one, and we are to make God the most important one in our lives, we are also to make Jesus the most important one in our lives! If we do not, then we are not entering by the narrow gate that Jesus spoke about today. And as we learned recently, Jesus is like the narrow gate of the sheep pen. The only way to gain access and be one of Jesus' sheep is to enter through HIM. Jesus is THE WAY, (the way to what? The way to eternal life.) Jesus is the THE TRUTH, everything He speaks is TRUE, and Jesus is the LIGHT. He SHOWS US where and how to gain entrance to God's kingdom. The answer to our question today, is that making Jesus THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IN OUR LIVES is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing we need to do in life, EVERY SINGLE DAY. There is nothing more important than this.
