The Loyal Servant
Christ’s allegiance to his Father produced his uncompromising obedience, even if it meant death on a Roman cross . Jesus summoned his disciples to enter “ by the narrow gate. Broad is the way that leads to destruction .” Or to change the metaphor, “ Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me .” The path to the kingdom of God includes obedience, humility, and service to others - (Matthew 7:13, 16:24).
