Part 3/12:
One of Jesus's most essential teachings is encapsulated in Luke 17:21, where he states, "The kingdom of God is within you." Traditionally interpreted as a promise of an afterlife, this assertion is actually a call for an inner realization of divine consciousness. Jesus communicated that recognizing one's divinity can lead to salvation and heaven here on Earth, aligning more closely with concepts found in Eastern mysticism about enlightenment.
