"The kingdom of God is within you," says the Lord. (Luke 17:21)
Turn, then, to God with all your heart. Forsake this wretched world and your soul shall find rest. Learn to despise external things, to devote yourself to those that are within, and you will see the kingdom of God come unto you, that kingdom which is peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, gifts not given to the impious.
Christ will come to you offering His consolation, if you prepare a fit dwelling for Him in your heart, whose beauty and glory, wherein He takes delight, are all from within. His visits with the inward man are frequent, His communion sweet and full of consolation, His peace great, and His intimacy wonderful indeed.
Therefore, faithful soul, prepare your heart for this Bridegroom that He may come and dwell within you; He Himself says: "If any one loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and will make Our abode with him." (John 14:23)

Just saying

28 So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that [h]I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” 30 As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.

The Truth Will Make You Free
31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Or in the Jewish version.


So Yeshua said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM [who I say I am], and that of myself I do nothing, but say only what the Father has taught me. 29 Also, the One who sent me is still with me; he did not leave me to myself, because I always do what pleases him." 30 Many people who heard him say these things trusted in him. 31 So Yeshua said to the Judeans who had trusted him, "If you obey what I say, then you are really my talmidim, 32 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Remember when people started complaining that cartoons were violent? They criticized the violence in Bugs Bunny and other cartoons. They worried about their influence on kids. Then they came out with things like Barney and Dora the Explorer. So how come when I was growing up, kids shooting up schools was nonexistent, but now it seems every month some kid is shooting up his school?
