The Message

What is our message as disciples of Jesus? What was the central message of Jesus? What was the central message of the apostles and early disciples?

A study of gospels show that Jesus taught mainly about the Kingdom of God. To further highlight this we learn after His resurrection He spent 40 days with the disciples teaching about the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:3).

What about the apostles? What did they teach the most? The Kingdom of God? Yes! They taught about the Kingdom of God and Jesus the way to the Kingdom! (Act 4:2; Acts 5:20, 22; Acts 8:5, 25, 35; Acts 9:20, 22)

So what is your message? It should be the Kingdom of God and Jesus the only way to the Kingdom! In short form our message is Jesus!

But Jesus is a person not a concept or message! Yes! That is why our message should be clear that we are introducing the people to a person who is the Christ! Jesus Is the one who delivers us from our sins (self centered lifestyle).

To those who are lost, we preach Jesus the Saviour! When they receive salvation and forgiveness we teach them to allow Jesus to live in them just like we are learning daily! We also teach that Jesus wants to fill the earth with the glory of God!

How can we fill the earth with the glory of God? By making disciples of all nations! The message of the church is Jesus everywhere!

Remember that the church is the body of Christ. This means that the entire church is Christ Jesus! So when I say what is our message, it also means what is the message of Jesus? It’s is the good news of the Kingdom of God! Jesus is the way!
