Jan 29, 2020 · How Did Jesus Preach? by Brandon Cox January 29, 2020. Jesus was more than a mere prophet – he was the sinless Son of God, the human-divine sacrifice for our sins.

These interpretations have at least one thing in common. They see Jesus doing something—locally, if not bodily—after his death and burial but before his ascension and session in heaven. One problem with such interpretations, though, is they affirm an activity of Jesus that appears nowhere else in Scripture. We should be cautious about advancing suc...

Command to believe the gospel of the Kingdom. The gospel, or good news, of the Kingdom is the message that Jesus urges us to believe today. Since He is the only Being through whom we may receive salvation (Acts 4:12), we must heed His instruction to “repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15). The gospel of the Kingdom is indeed ...
