Christ Jesus’ teachings were intended to reveal spiritual reality to his followers, which leads to living in the kingdom of heaven on earth—the kingdom of spiritual harmony. How can we progress to gain a present perspective of this reality? We each have a spiritual sense that reveals what is real and good and brings healing and progress, so our first step should be to look for ways to educate that spiritual sense—to develop a true, spiritual view of God and the universe.
Christ Jesus gave us a critical starting point for advancing spiritually when he said, “Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein” (Mark 10:15).
Qualities often seen in children—such as humility, receptivity, and purity—open us to the spiritual sense of what is real. And those qualities are inherent in our true nature as children of our Father-Mother God, forever expressed by each one of us.
