What In The World Was Jesus Talking About?
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "What In the World Was Jesus Talking About?", Steve Gregg discusses the misunderstood concept of the "kingdom of God" in Jesus' teachings. He highlights how it refers to a present reality on earth, and its pursuit should take precedence over material needs. The idea of the Kingdom of God is tied to a community governed by God on earth, which was long-awaited by the Jewish people and continues to be relevant for Christians. Gregg emphasizes that the Gospel of the Kingdom is a growing movement that involves an alternative society governed by Jesus as King, which Christians are called to actively participate in through good works and submission to His will.
