THE TEACHING OF JESUS
INTRODUCTORY OBSERVATIONS

-Jesus life is important, not just his death
-Example as well as words...he lived out everything he taught
-Mark 1:15 THE KINGDOM: and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
-Jesus often spoke in parables....(also used as a divider of sorts, some get it, some don't, some come for more info, others walk away)
-Jesus taught a few key sermons
-also did have disputes, often with the pharisees etc.(this is often where we see that his "religion" was more than just a jewish faith...it is in the disputes that we see the distinctions and passions in his beliefs
-Dialogues (different conversations he has impromptu with people of different walks...we learn a lot from these)
-Example (how Jesus lived, the type of people he hung around with and accepted)
-----his responses to people and situations: addresses their sin or issues, but accepts them...

THE TEACHING OF JESUS: CONTENT

- The Kingdom Of God
----in mind of his audience it is a picture that looks more like solomons temple etc.
--in Jesus mind it is a world where people surrender to God the King and have everlasting life...peace on earth due to everyones surrender

-The Kingdom of God will be in conflict with the kingdoms of this world
-the influence of the kingdom will spread beyond the church
Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are same thing...."matthew/mark luke/john" hhh

The Arrival of The Kingdom

-The end of days....
-The new age has already begun, it started with jesus coming to earth....we will still go through our conflict and the devil is loose, but the old age is gone....
-The King
-a kingdom is only as good as its king....Jesus the Son of God
-entrance into the Kingdom: done through faith and repentance...Jesus said "I am the door, no one comes to the father except through me"
-Ethics in the Kingdom..how do we live in the kingdom: if we repent and believe, our actions will change, we dont get saved by our actions, but our belief will result in holier actions
-The end of the age...Jesus will come and finish what he has started..
-The authority of His teaching...Matt 7:28&29: 28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,    29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
