As a parent many of us have children who when we ask them to do something will hem and haw before finally going off to fulfill the task required. We ourselves are probably guilty of it at one time or another. It is because we want to accomplish our own will, but when a parent, someone with authority asks us to do something, we have to set aside our own will and be humble enough to do their will before our own. Jesus is telling us that when we who are regularly prone to sin humble ourselves to do God's will before our own, then we have the possibility of entering into the Heavenly Kingdom.
Woe to those who lie to the Father though and say they will do his will, then do their own.
