Jesus and His Message - Mark 1:14-15

The "kingdom of God" (or "of heaven") was Jesus’ primary message, and it calls for our response. Real news is not neutral; it invokes a reaction in us. The gospel (good news) of God's kingdom was Jesus' main idea, which states that God's reign - his just, wise, loving, peaceful, eternal influence - has come to us through Jesus his Son. The power of this message is life-changing, world-changing, as we listen, respond, and pursue its purpose.
