Jesus Christ is easily the most important figure that has ever appeared in the history of mankind. This is true whether you choose to call him God or man. His life and death and teachings have influenced the course of human history more than those of any other man who ever lived. There can hardly, therefore, be a more important undertaking than to inquire into the question of what Jesus really did stand for.
What did Jesus teach? What did he really wish us to believe and to do? How far does the Christianity of today present his message to the world? What did Jesus teach?
…for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21).
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you (John 15:12).
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it (John 14:14).
What thrilling news that God’s kingdom already exists within us. That means all we have to do is look within for our Eden in which to live. How comforting it is for us to know that God Almighty commanded our brothers and sisters to love us and each other. If we just follow God’s will, then every person will treat us as their family. And how wonderful to know that anything we ask will be given to us if we follow God’s commandments and ask for what God wants in our lives. If these truths were all Jesus gave us, he would still be the most important person in human history. Yet, this is just the tip of the iceberg. As we come to know and understand all that Jesus taught to and brought to the world, we will come to fully comprehend what the Son of God truly means to our lives here and forever. As the song says. “it such a good feeling to know…somebody loves you”. That someone is the Father of existence, the creator of the universe and the Holy Spirit which is within us.
