In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells Nicodemus "Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God". (John 3:3). See can be taken in at least two senses here. First, "See" as in to comprehend and understand, such as when we "see" the answer to a problem. Second, "see" as in to enter in to reach or achieve, as when we speak of a team "seeing victory.
Therefore we can say that Jesus means both that unless someone is born again they cannot perceive or understand the Kingdom of God, and neither can they enter into or receive that Kingdom.

What does it mean to say that Jesus understood the Kingdom of God as being communal in nature?
well he is the god's sonA:The kingdom of God was central to Jesus' preaching and He describes it in many of His parables. He spoke also of the glad tidings of the kingdom (Luke 8:1) and of the mystery of the kingdom of God (Mark 4:11). The kingdom of God is God's ruling, the sovereign reign of God. Jesus regularly invited people to enter the kingdom of God, that is, to open their lives to the ruling of God. He invited everyone. He spoke of God sending His servants out to the highways and hedges to urge people to come in to the kingdom. The apostles began to speak of eternal life, salvation, forgiveness, and other themes. The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). Communal, in the strictest sense of the word, as it applies to the kindom of God, actually negates the need for God's presence and I doubt Jesus would understand it to be that way.
