A LOT of us are waiting for some kind of saviour, whether religious or secular. Of course there is nothing wrong with that hope... that is unless it stops you from realising a profound and eternal truth.
In the New Testament, the Pharisees represented the prevailing religious establishment of the day. They were preaching that soon a great saviour, a Messiah, would rise up, heroically overthrow the Roman occupation, and return Israel to the Jews.
While the Pharisees expected the saviour to be born into a royal line, the reality (according to the Bible) was quite different. Far from being a heroic prince, Jesus Christ was born into the family of a tradesman.
In the eyes of the religious elites of the day, who were expecting some spectacular revolution that would restore the rightful kingdom, Jesus was a total failure.
And what was Jesus' response to the Pharisees? It must have been both baffling and frustrating because he said: "The kingdom of God is within you".
And that is the secret. Jesus' radical message was that there was no need to wait for a great salvation to come down from above with trumpets, choirs of angels, and fireworks.
He told us that everything we need, everything we yearn for, is already here. It is within us and among us, right now.
Perhaps you are waiting for rescue. Are you waiting for Trump or Q or Gesara, for some great unveiling, the toppling of the worldwide monetary system, the final fall of the cabal?
