Day 36: Week 6: Relate. Speck and beam. Good gifts from our Father. Golden rule, narrow gate.

Week 6: Why judging people will get you nowhere, and constantly asking for what you need will get you everywhere.

—

Jesus seems to hang out with everyone. He’s comfortable with the rich and poor, with the highly respected and the outcasts.

What’s his secret? Perhaps that he relates. Instead of judging someone first, he gets familiar with people. And he tells us to do the same. And even when it’s hard, he says to keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. This week we meet some speck-seekers and some God-seekers.

Jesus also gets ready for his toughest challenge, and one of his friends is ready to help him.
