the question, “what was the main message of Jesus in his teachings?” brings a varied response. love. forgiveness. discipleship.
yes, each of these was taught by Jesus, but none were the main message. they are all byproducts of the main message, which is this: The Kingdom of God.
kingdom in the context of Jesus’ teachings means rule, realm, authority or sovereignty. Jesus’ message was that in him – in Jesus – God was coming to the world in his perfect timing to set the people of God free from their ultimate enemy.

3. how can you, this week, bring the kingdom – the reign or realm of God – into someone else’s life?
