We can learn from him how to live our lives as he would live them if he were we. We can enter his eternal kind of life now. The Kingdom Must Make Sense But this cannot come about unless what Jesus himself believed, practiced, and taught makes sense to us. And his message must come to us free of the deadening legalisms, political sloganeering, and dogmatic traditionalisms long proven by history to be soul-crushing dead ends. Obviously it does not so come to us now, and this is a fact widely recognized.
