He views these relationships as neither unimportant nor extraneous, but as vital components of our Christian lives. Knowing God is our highest priority, but but this is pursuit should not replace or diminish our interpersonal relationships with others. Rather, our personal interaction with God should produce within us the qualities of character that build an sustain all our relationships.


Action

Key to understanding God's Kingdom:

A dominant theme of Jesus' teaching is the kingdom of God. Jesus presents numerous word-pictures of what this supernatural realm "is like." But the kingdom is not merely to be understood with the mind.  Rather, it is spiritual and is to be comprehended and entered into by spiritual means and in practical living. Let us meditate daily on Jesus' words in order to receive the keys to the kingdom

Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down,

Jesus likens Himself to a physician who goes where there is a genuine need. It is just as absurd for Jesus to refuse to deal with publicly acknowledged sinners as it is for a  doctor to refuse to treat the sick.

In warning the disciples against false signs, Jesus sketches the prevailing conditions of their present age down to the very end and states their continuing task. There will be religious deception, social and political upheavals natural calamities, disloyalty, and persecution - all of which are precursors of the end times.
