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).
Jesus did not say “love one another as I have said to love one another”. He said, “Love one another as I have loved you.” He loved us enough to give his life for us; not just on the day he was crucified, but on every day of his life.
Who are we giving our lives for today and each day? Is it all about ourselves, or do we give ourselves to others. Remember, there is nothing we can give away that won’t come back to us many times over. This works whether we are giving love or selfishness.
The Kingdom of God is within us so that we can love one another and therefore we can know that anything we ask in God’s name (according to his word) will be given to us.
With love,
