Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristSample
Commands of Christ: 38
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, drive out demons.
These commands were to specific groups of people at specific times, but seem to be somewhat typical of what Jesus’ followers continued to do in later years. His instructions to the seventy in Matthew and to the twelve in Luke provide at least general patterns for us today as we go to new areas to announce the Kingdom of God. These dramatic signs serve to demonstrate the activity of God among men. They show the concern of God for the plight of men and the power of God to do something about it. We are still to demonstrate these truths as we extend the Kingdom of God to every place and people group on earth where He is not known.
Scripture
About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
