Jesus's Teaching Ministry

King James Version Chapter 4

And leaving pNazareth, he came and dwelt in oCapernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 14 *That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 qThe land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by rthe way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of rthe Gentiles; 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

17 sFrom that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, tRepent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

Christians, Jesus began his ministry with teaching: repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.... Jesus also tells us that unless, we are born from above, born of both of spirit and water, in no way will we enter into the kingdom of heaven. Jesus is the great light who came into the world; before, Christ Jesus the world was under the darkness of Adam’s sin and also was under the Law of Moses, the Ten Commandments. Now, when Christ Jesus was with his disciples, they baptized with water, so Christ Jesus being the light who came into the world, this baptism was a baptism that took away the sin of Adam. Indeed, Christ Jesus coming into the world translated the world from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light, and we are now living in the age of our Lord Christ Jesus’ Gospel of repentance, for the forgiveness of sin.... So, Christ Jesus teaches us that he did not come into the world to abolish the Law of Moses and the Prophets, but that Christ Jesus came into the world to fulfill the law and the prophets.... The Apostle Paul, saint, teaches that if we love our neighbor as we love ourselves that, we then, are keeping the commandments, statutes, decrees and ordinances: so, if we are coveting or committing adultery or stealing, then we are not loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. Again, if we are committing idolatry or not honoring our parents; if we are practicing homosexuality or not keeping the Lord’s day holy, then we are not loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. Truly, the Apostle Paul teaches that the Law of Moses and the Prophets are now made manifest in the spirit, so in our hearts, minds, souls and with our strength we must love the Lord God our Heavenly Father. The Apostle Paul teaches that every thing, to him, is legal, but that some things are not beneficial: we must realize that Saint Paul, Apostle is saying that he is guided by the spirit and his life consists of the fruits of the spirit and there is nothing unlawful, Satan cannot accuse us, if we are living as Saint Paul was, that is being guided by the Holy Spirit. Now the Holy Spirit only teaches what Christ Jesus spoke and Christ Jesus only spoke what God the Heavenly Father gave him to teach—the light that came into the world is Christ Jesus, and his Gospel of repentance for the kingdom of heaven is at hand....

There is an interesting realization: Christ Jesus cursed the fig tree and this tree withered and died. Now, truly, this is a figure of example to what happens, to us, if we do not bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit, we will wither and die.... If we curse or damn others, we are not bearing the fruits of Christ Jesus’s Gospel. For Christ Jesus’s Gospel teaches us to bless those who curse us. Furthermore, Saint Paul, Apostle, is most emphatic on this point and says, bless them, I say to you, do not curse them, but bless them Romans 12:14 So let us also remember that Christ Jesus teaches that any branch that does not bear fruit will be cut-off and thrown into the unquenchable fire. Moreover, Christ Jesus teaches that the axe is already laid in upon the root and every tree that does not bear forth good fruit will be hewn down, cut down and cast into the fire: Matthew 3:10 and Luke 3:9.

So Christians be of good cheer for Christ Jesus has overcome the world, and we are now awaiting the time of fulfillment, the time of judgment: where all those who do not bear good fruit, the good fruits of Christ Jesus’s Gospel will be thrown into the fire....
