Read Luke 13:22-30
"We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets."
This is what those who will not get into the kingdom say in defense of their right to enter the kingdom. Jesus says that this is not enough.
What does this say to us today?
Is it possible that we aren't doing enough either...that we are depending on being in close proximity to Jesus without really committing our selves to Him? If we have our relationship with Jesus listed as one of many priorities in our lives, but not as the key priority out of which all other priorities arise, then we may well be like those who thought that eating and drinking with Jesus and listening to his teachings in their streets was enough. We may think it is enough, but does Jesus?
Lord, let me be wholeheartedly committed to you. Amen.
