Spiritual Enlightenment

Teachings of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ's Teachings provide spiritual enlightenment through an inner transformation that is connected to the Divine.
We begin to understand that:
*The "Kingdom of God" is within us.
*Living a life of love, humility, compassion and service with the Holy Spirit as our Guide sets us on a unique spiritual journey towards God through a life of purpose and a moral framework that reflects God's Character and Nature.
God's Kingdom
There are two dimensions of God's Kingdom.
The everlasting Kingdom of God has trust in the Power of the Cross for believers who trust in Christ's atoning work, leading to salvation and a new way of life that contrasts with the values of this world.
And, there are the worldly values of this world that focus on temporary, human-centered desires like wealth, status, pleasure, and self-interest.
Losing your soul to gain the world isn’t worth it.
In Matthew 16:26 Jesus asked, “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is mentioned in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
It is a Kingdom of Light where God Shines.
This light is found in the Teachings of Jesus Christ who is called the "Light of the World" guiding humanity towards salvation.
Jesus Christ's Core Message was the Kingdom of God which He gave at the Sermon on the Mount and the importance of repentance and faith could save people - essential elements for salvation.
He described the Kingdom of God as both a present reality through the Holy Spirit and a future fulfillment as
expressed in the Lord's Prayer, which includes the petition: "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).

In adversity, it strengthens our resilience by providing hope to navigate life's challenges to persevere through difficulties.
Faith forms the spiritual foundation of trust in our relationship with God to give us peace of mind during times of uncertainty.
It also shines with gratitude, humility and goodness as we recognize Divine Blessings.
Repentance
Repentance forgiveness and salvation are deeply intertwined within Christian faith.
*Repentance is a prerequisite for receiving forgiveness.
*Forgiveness is a crucial element of salvation because it frees one from bitterness and anger and moves you toward more fulfilling relationships.
*Repentance and forgiveness open the pathway to salvation.
Repentance is a deep regret for past wrongdoings with a sincere commitment to change and turn away from sin.
It involves a transformation of the mind and heart to acknowledge faults and to seek God's Mercy.
Jesus said, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand".
He emphasized that repentance was a necessary condition for receiving forgiveness of sins and entering God's Kingdom.
Two Biblical figures who repented sincerely to God include King David after committing adultery and murder, and Saul of Tarsus (later Saint Paul), who converted from persecuting Christians to spreading the Gospel.

Cross of Christ

Teachings of Jesus Christ
The Cross of Christ is the symbol of Christianity represents His betrayal, arrest, trial, suffering, Crucifixion and His Resurrection and Victory over Death where He ascended into Heaven to everlasting Life and Glory.
It represents God's act of love and atonement in Christ's Sacrifice at Golgotha - "the Lamb of God who takes way the sins of the world."
And, it is the cherished emblem of atonement, forgiveness and grace that is revered by Christians who acknowledge Jesus Christ as the King of their world.
Jesus Christ offered Himself to be Crucified, so we may find the Path of the Good Shepherd Who leads His flock to greener pastures.
Like a beacon, the Cross of Christ shines bright for all who can see its symbol of love, hope and everlasting life in God's Heavenly Kingdom.
Jesus declared, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies" (John 11:25), establishing Himself as the source of eternal life.

Two Greatest Commandments

Teachings of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ's Core Teaching also centered on the two "Great Commandments": to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
Through love, we find compassion for others.
Love links us to God because it is the defining quality of His selfless relationship with humanity.
Jesus identified the love of God as the first great Commandment.
The second Commandment, which Jesus said was like the first, was to love your neighbor as yourself.
Golden Rule of Jesus
The Golden Rule, found in Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," emphasizes the importance of treating others with the same kindness and respect that we desire for ourselves.
It simply means you should treat others as you would like to be treated.
Leadership
Jesus Christ demonstrated leadership to give the deepest meaning to a life of abundance based on spiritual richness.
He taught that the greatest among His followers should be a servant of all and demonstrated how by washing His disciples' feet.
He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, made the lame to walk and the mute to speak.
He turned water into wine, fed 5000 people with five loaves of bread, and calmed the storms.
He aroused great hopes to the marginalized and those who felt oppressed.
And, He united people worldwide through a sense of shared values, a life of purpose and a moral framework that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son exemplified the boundless mercy of God and the importance of forgiveness.

Heavenly Kingdom of God

Teachings of Jesus Christ
Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die".
- John 11:25-26
The Heavenly Kingdom of God is a major theme throughout the four Gospels of the Bible.
Christians believe that Christ by His Resurrection from the dead, showed that death is not the end but rather, the gateway to eternal life.
Heaven is the spiritual dwelling place of our dear Lord, Jesus Christ, our Blessed Virgin Mary, the Angels, Saints, the Prophets and all God's children.
The moment a person dies the soul heads for the heavenly Kingdom of God.
They arrive with sound mind, intellect and emotions.
The spiritual soul is resurrected with spiritual gifts to a new and everlasting life.
This is our destiny where we will finally realize our full spiritual potential as individuals.
"One thing I seek - to live in the Presence of the Lord - all the days of my life and, to behold God's Beauty".
-King David

Jesus Knocking at the Door

Teachings of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ depicted knocking at the door and politely waiting to be let in as described in Revelation 3:20, symbolizes His desire for a personal relationship with individuals.
The handle of the door is not on the outside where Jesus is knocking symbolizing that He will not force His way into a person's life.
The individual must open the door from the inside through their own freewill and invitation because He wants you to choose Him.
This represents the choice to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior because He respects the sacredness of freewill - Jesus Christ is our access to salvation and into eternal life with Him.
The famous painting depicting Jesus Christ knocking at the door and waiting patiently for someone to open the door from the inside is titled "The Light of the World" and was painted by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt (2 April 1827 – 7 September 1910) in 1853.
