Simple Gospel (Official Video)
Actually, the basic gospel message is delivered in a such a way as to give us some interesting perspective of what the ministry of Jesus was all about.
Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him – Luke 8:1
Wealth or money or the lack thereof should be a message I pick up here and I can say I have missed that. While they were all working and preaching, who was raising support and who was worried about such support? Being a disciple is not so much the worry as it is about the doing. That is the requirement of discipleship.
Jesus made one thing the constant business of His life – He preached the good news. He took His work and had a regular pattern in doing it. One good work He did was the beginning of another good work. As an itinerant preacher, He did not confine Himself to one place. He found new places where His message was received well and He went to cities but did not avoid the villages. He set an example for me to not settle for the usual. My calling is to tell the good news of the kingdom of God – news that is good. Open arms to receive and reconcile. Love that fact that the twelve went with Him to watch Him do what He was called to do. They were learning from Him by watching Him. A key discipleship indicator.
