EVERY PASSAGE ON THE KINGDOM:
The Kingdom of God is the most prevelant subject in the 3 Gospels. Everytime the topic of Jesus’ messages are mentioned, and everytime he commands his Disciples to preach , the topic is always the Kingdom of Heaven/God.
Here are some examples of Jesus’ command as to what to preach:
Matthew 4:17 KJV From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 10:7 KJV And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Luke 9:2, 60 KJV – 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. … 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Luke 10:9 KJV And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Luke 11:2 KJV And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
As Disciples, our job is to read Jesus’ direct without an intermediary translating what Jesus means. If you are a Disciple, sit and listen to Jesus only. For when you listen to the religious leaders of today you will hardly find the Gospel Jesus taught.
