Jesus at 30
- There were also a number of followers who joined Jesus in
the ministry but the twelve were the mainstay.
- They walked & lived with Jesus and witnessed the way
He did His preaching, teaching, and healing ministries.
- As a whole, the three-year ministry of Jesus was an
expression of God’s love & God’s grace of service
to people, to a Jew or a non-Jew.
- He Himself was an example of a servant as
He came to serve and not to be served
(Mark 10:45).
Module 6.1. The Preaching Ministry of Jesus
The Kingdom of God
• The kingdom of God is the English translation of the
Greek basileia tou theou.
• In the New Testament it has three meanings namely:
1) PEOPLE – refers to the redeemed people who share the reign of
God (Rev. 1:5-6)
2) REALM – the sphere in which God’s reign is experienced now
and will be experienced later where people may enjoy God’s
blessings (Matt.21:31)
3) REIGN – the directive or rule of God among His people through
His power in Jesus to break the power of death & Satan (Matt. 12:28-29).
- The main message of Jesus’ preaching
centered on the Good News of the Reign of
God/Kingdom of God.
- This Reign of God was contrary to the hope
of the Old Testament prophets, that the
Messiah or Christ belonging to the kingly
line of David would be a warrior-king to
deliver them from their Roman enemies.
Instead, God’s rule in Jesus the Christ (the
“anointed”) was not in military victories but in
mighty works of preaching, teaching, and healing,
bringing salvation to all people.
- Jesus, the Christ, delivered people from condemnation
of sin by offering them forgiveness, and by calling them
to become His disciples as they confess Jesus as their
Lord and Savior.
- The Sermon on
the Mount in Galilee
brings about
revolutionary views
of Jesus.
Take a look at the Beatitudes that outlines the very nature of
individuals under the reign/kingdom of God.

Module 6.2 The Teaching Ministry of Jesus
• The teaching ministry of Jesus had brought
enlightenment and liberation to many.
• His teachings were very different from the
teachings of the learned during His time,
such as the Pharisees & the Scribes
among others.

instead of break them (Matthew Chapters 5 to 7).
