Welcome to:

The Life and Teachings of Jesus

Jesus' life is a marvelous living example of deep devotion to GOD, as well as always being kind and caring towards others. In fact, if one had to simplify Jesus' teachings down to just two basic concepts, it would be:

Pour blissful, loving gratitude and devotion to GOD as much as possible throughout the day through heartfelt thoughts, feelings, prayer and song; and by having an "attitude of gratitude".

And,

Always Be Kind & Caring to Others. In other words, treat others the way you would like them to treat you. ("The Golden Rule")

Thus, the following two quotes of Jesus sum up

his teachings beautifully:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

- Holy Bible: Mark 12:30-32 (NIV)

And

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." ("The Golden Rule")

- Holy Bible: Matt 7:12 (NIV)

• The Ascension: Did you know that each one of us is some day going to Ascend, too - just like Jesus? It might not be in this lifetime, but eventually we too will Ascend. That's why Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father." (John 14:12 NLT) (This is sometimes summarized as: ""All these things that I do, you too shall do, and even greater things than these shall you do.") This link leads to the universal explanation of the Ascension that is relevant to people from all spiritual paths.

• Blessed Mary Ascended, too! Did you know that Blessed Mary (the Mother of Jesus) Ascended at the end of her lifetime as Jesus' mother?

• Self-Mastery: Jesus's teachings were all about "Self-Mastery", including his famous words: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48).

• Evolution: Did Jesus ever teach about evolution? This explains how Christians are being tricked by the sinister force into an indefensible corner to destroy their credibility, and how evolution and belief in GOD are not incompatible if understood in the correct spiritual and scientific ways. (Basically, our souls are eternal and created by GOD and during the vast majority of our lifetimes we live in beautiful higher realms and we only incarnate down here in physical bodies (which evolved according to the scientific theory of evolution) for brief periods of time to learn compassion, loving kindness, and how to unselfishly and fairly share scarce resources, and as a result we increase our soul strength.) So, should Christians be opposed to the scientific doctrine of evolution? Click here and come find out! Evolution
