Keep Your Eyes on Jesus

Getting into heaven is just like slacklining. If you’ve ever been to a college campus, you’ll notice those people who go on tightropes in the quad trying to balance on these slack lines. And so I’ve done it before, and I lasted about two seconds. The key is to keep your eyes forward and on the slack line. As soon as you start turning your head to the side or looking at other things, you lose your balance. You fall, whoa.

In the gospel for this Sunday, people ask Jesus, Who’s he going to get into heaven? How many people will be saved? Tell me, tell me, tell me. And Jesus answers in a very Jesus way. And he says, Enter the narrow gate. Jesus is basically saying, Mind your own business and keep your eyes on me. It’s Jesus who is our salvation. We need to keep our eyes on him, mind our own business, and let our hearts conform to his heart.
