Jesus Christ was sent by our Father to lead us to the Kingdom of Heaven. As any custodian of children, he had words of wisdom for his flock:
"If your leaders say to you. ‘Look the (Father‘s) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and it is outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are poverty."
"But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. "
"Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. "
"For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "
Of course, Jesus Christ quotes were not to be treated as spin to make us feel good about ourselves. His words were a lesson plan of a lifelong quest for education. Following his words make us rise from our humble dirt beginnings and reside in the Kingdom with our Father and his Son.
