Mark 12:28-34 "Which is the Most Important Commandment of All"

Here again we see a strong clue that the kingdom is a realm of consciousness in this life in which we daily follow Christ and seek a relationship with Him and that the culmination of this IS an eternal presence before God in heaven. This scribe was obviously touched by the Lord's answer, came near to the kingdom of God when he accepted Jesus' teaching that love is central to understanding God and ourselves, and recognized that true obedience comes from the heart.
