Where there is a will... it is usually our way. God said that His church would be based on only truth from the Father, and not from mankind. No middlemen needed adding their truths or creating more theology and promoting their denominations as if it was a team sport. God's truth, not anybody else's, nor mine.
Jesus was plain about the Gospel of the Kingdom and what it entailed. It bears repeating, not interpretation. It was an outright confirmation that man would no longer lord over fellow man and only God's will would be done in earth (see Lord's Prayer also for confirmation), not man's self serving will. (what God has repeated since the Garden and made commandment 1). That we, as living humans, were to reject self interest in favour of loving all as self (commandment 2), caring for each other as a whole without gain because we're all sinners (self willed) and in this mess together.
He summed it up in two commandments, His words, the Father's Truth, no interpretation required. No rejecting the Kingdom of the Father and joining and establishing more worldly governments contrary to the ways of the Kingdom ( as was done and without repentance to this day). He was quite plain, but the notion of not playing man's game, or by our rules, got Him killed and the notion of repentance/change has been rejected ever since. Man still prefers the governments of man (both secular and religious) over God's governance/Kingdom... using God rather than changing our ways to suit His will. Self interest remains the god of this world.
