Jesus and the Inner Life
What did Jesus actually teach?
Strip away the centuries and his message was one thing: the kingdom of heaven. To his apostles he always taught it as personal experience, your relation to your fellows on earth and to the Father in heaven. Not an institution, not a place, but a life lived in God’s will.
In the book's own words
At different times and in varying circumstances it appears that Jesus may have presented numerous concepts of the “kingdom” in his public teachings, but to his apostles he always taught the kingdom as embracing man’s personal experience in relation to his fellows on earth and to the Father in heaven. Concerning the kingdom, his last word always was, “The kingdom is within you.”
