It is not the Christ, however, Who was mistaken. Human beings were mistaken. They have interpreted these words in such a way as though the Kingdom of Heaven, by coming near, would make the grapes grow ten times larger and let the earth overflow with milk and honey.

Today we must think differently.” Instead of this we should ask ourselves: “How can I understand what the Christ has said?”
