In the doctrine of the Kingdom of God, Jesus is the personification of the mysteries of God, Jesus is the "son of man". In the revelation of Jesus there is a knowledge that is beyond human reason, the doctrine of the kingdom of God is a creed of mysteries, that is why Jesus tells us about living with faith and hope; only when we reach spiritual maturity through "Gnosis", is when we can perceive with the spiritual gift of knowledge (understanding) the divine mysteries: "But when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.", 1 Corinthians 13:10-12.
God blesses us, says Paul in his letter to the Ephesians, when through the grace of his spirit and his eternal wisdom, he makes himself known to those who seek him: "In accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ", Ephesians 1:7-10.
The mysteries of Jesus are the mysteries of charity: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love," 1 John 4:8. If we want to know Jesus we have to understand the true nature of Charity, our neighbor matters. If we live attending to our own needs we will never understand the depth of divine mysteries. Believing in Jesus is loving our neighbor as Paul explains it: "Ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you", Ephesians 1:15.
