Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristНамуна
Commands of Christ: 39
Proclaim that the kingdom of God is near.
This is another of the commands Jesus gave as He was instructing the seventy and the twelve in these two passages. In many ways, this is the central command for Jesus’ followers in terms of our task here on earth prior to His return. God’s rule, God’s reign, is the good news we are to share everywhere with everyone. His instruction is for our guidance. His purpose is our direction. His character is our aspiration. His desire is our command. His nature is our inspiration. His promise is our hope.
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.
