Historical Jesus & The Absolute

I have been reading about the historical Jesus who clearly had a direct experience of God that was much stronger than what I experience, but similar in some ways. As I talk about in my book, I experience that force or power as, what I call, the Absolute of unconditional love. Absolute meaning there is no criticism, judgment, requirement of obedience or anything else, just love. Jesus knew of this, generally spoke of it as compassion and felt it strongly. Following his suggestion and my own experience of God, I attempt to incorporate that in everything I do and the people I meet. That feels right.
