Your commentary shows you have excellent intelligence. But like the Pharisees prayers that are but words falling on deaf ears, your intellect will not help you meet and experience Christ.
You can read and know every word of a bicycle operating manual, but still not know how to ride. It is similar with meeting Christ Jesus.
Most Christian’s proclaim Jesus as you Saviour, as I do. Then they treat Jesus as a lifeguard that can pluck you out when drowning (save you when you die.) While Jesus can do that, which would you sooner have, a lifeguard that waits until you are drowning to rescue you, or a lifeguard that teaches you how to swim?
Jesus is teaching us how to swim (act as Jesus would) and when we do, we too will do the things that He does and even more with Him in us.
It really is that simple.
Jesus is here already, but those without ears can’t hear Him and those without eyes can’t see Him. We must be raised up to do so. How do we raise up? By following the two most important commands He gave us.
Just as a swimmer can raise up in the water, those who embrace Jesus in Love can raise up in consciousness. When you do, you are born anew and experience Jesus.
That was well said. Dr Michael Heiser has a phrase regarding the Kingdom of heaven being here as you described: Already, but not yet.
His kingdom is HERE, but not yet complete. My belief is that the believer enters that kingdom when they accept His free gift. At that point it’s not about waiting. I compare it to a soldier in a war. You don’t claim citizenship and then wait around for the end of the war to enjoy the country’s blessings. You grab a rifle and join the fight, and also enjoy the fruits of victory. And the fight itself, and all you learn from it, is very rewarding in what you learn about your creator, and how you really can trust in Him.
