#1 Good News - The Kingdom of God is Near!
Manage episode 348412593 series 3395685
In this episode we will review the gospel according to Matthew and see that the Kingdom of God was the central focus of Jesus’s message. As Jesus explained it, the Kingdom of God is a new kind of human society; it is organized on different principles, and its members behave differently. It is good news because it is the world of peace and justice we say we want. However, the inescapable conclusion is that this is a big change – the new humanity will be as different from Homo sapiens as Homo sapiens were from the hominins who preceded them (e.g. Neanderthals, Homo erectus).
