5. Jesus Announces the Good News - Mark 1:14–15

Jesus returns from the wilderness and begins preaching the Gospel. There’s lots of people today who’ll tell you what the Gospel is. But let’s hear it from Christ’s own lips.

After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” - Mark 1:14–15

The statement, “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” must have been something that Jesus would have often repeated during the early part of his ministry.

It was an exciting message for the people to hear. But the idea of the kingdom of God having come near didn’t mean that it was near but not here. It actually meant that the kingdom of God was present here and now. It meant that while there was nothing that the people could do to reach the kingdom of God, the kingdom of God had come to them.

The Jewish people believed that when the Messiah came, he would bring the Kingdom of God with him, to this earth. And that’s what Jesus was announcing: that he was the Promised One, and that he had brought the kingdom of God to them. Notice the two conditions that Jesus announced that were necessary for us to receive the kingdom of God: repent and believe. It was a simple but powerful message that electrified the countryside.

Two thousand years ago, when Jesus announced that the kingdom of God was near, He was saying that it was right here for all those who repent and believe. How near do you think it is today? How near is the kingdom of God in your own life. Think about it.

Hello

The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom!

Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! Believers will rule the nations with Jesus! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people at his coming! They will rule the nations! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21

Matt 24
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Jesus said the Father is the only true God!

John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

That mean Jesus died for the humanity and God takes back the people by act of pandemic. In India Saint Kabir knows this. He said, 'The drum of death is beating, the world has fallen to the world of dream!'
