Jesus wants us to free ourselves from matter; He wants us not to worry about earthly things, but to care for the things of God. He wants us to focus our lives on the things of God and not be troubled by the things of the flesh. He wants us to see life from the eternal perspective of the spirit—the constant existence that is independent of circumstances, independent of matter, independent of everything. He wants us to set our hearts on God, because from God comes all love. He wants us to nourish ourselves with wisdom, with love, with chastity, with purity in our souls. For it is there that we find true life.
Jesus came to teach us all of this, so that we may live fully in the purpose of God. Filled with fullness, we will find divine love and rejoice in ultimate happiness.
