Simplicity

Ever wonder why Jesus lived such a simple life?  That seems to have been a common theme among the most "enlightened" in the world.  The Gandhi's and Dalai Lama's and what not.  Jesus said that the "Kingdom of God" is within us.  Maybe that's why He lived so simply, He peeled away every other distraction of life, possessions, power, money, and the like, until He was simply left with Himself and God.  Perhaps it is when all is removed and all we are left with is who we really are, that we discover the God in who's image we were created.
