Matthew 4:23
He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people.
What is the “gospel of the kingdom”? Just before this statement…Matthew wrote that Jesus proclaimed that the “kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Heaven begins here and now when we follow Jesus and extend mercy, compassion, love and forgiveness to others. When we are on our way to wholeness we are on the path of the Kingdom of God. Jesus doesn’t want us to wait for some future heaven. He calls us to action…to build the kingdom now.
