Reflection on Ch. 12

I feel as if Ch. 12 tends to give people the wrong message. It seems as if this chapter does a lot of preaching, rather than actual teaching. From what I can understand, they would like Christians to develop a certain kind of faith in order to enter the Kingdom of God. To me, I don't really think the kind of faith really matters. As long as you have some kind of faith, you are good. Jesus doesn't expect us to develop something over night and instantly enter the Kingdom. I believe, He would rather us have our own beliefs in order to have our own understanding. We therefore are able to pick up our own knowledge and faith from it all, and become more aware of what we need to do in order to enter the Kingdom of God with whatever "sweet" faith we have collected from either past experiences or just by going to Church.
