Bible Question: what is so outstanding about the teachings on the kingdom of Jesus gave to his disciples while they were in Caesarea Philippi |
Bible Answer: Hi, mzmonique... Welcome to the forum! This isn't a homework question is it? :-) The kingdom of heaven -- also called the kingdom of God -- is the central theme of the Bible. It is the redemptive power of God and His rule. This power has its ultimate manifestation in the life, death, resurection, and exaltation, of Jesus Christ. This is the good news... the gospel itself. In Him, Doc |
