Jesus began his public teaching and display of miracles at the age of thirty and became popular over 3 years of his teaching. His key messages were: -God loves us all He says if we love him, he will keep his word, his father will love us, we shall come to him and make our home with him. He will also reveal himself to us. -Love one another This is the second greatest commandment. It says you shall love your neighbour as yourself and love one another as he loved us. When we do this this, men will know that we are his disciples. We should also love our enemies, do good and lend them but expect nothing from them as our reward will be great in heaven. Whatever the lord did to us, we must do to others. -Immense value of each other It is very important that we value one another and make sure that when the other goes astray, we find and rejoyce. -Kingdom of God has come to earth Jesus preached of the good news of the kingdom throughout Galilee and synagogues. He said the kingdom of heaven is not coming with things that can be seen but that it is amoung us. He taught us how to pray the Lord's prayer. -Reality of judgement to heaven or hell He says that our righteousness must surpass that of the pharrsees in order for us to enter the kingdom of heaven. He teaches us that we are going to give account for every careless word we utter. God will send his angels to collect out of the kingdom all causes of sin and evildoers and the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of the father. I treasure the love of God, you know one amazing about him is that he accepts us in any way, you come crying he welcomes you, you come poor he welcomes you, he just accepts us, as long as we confess that he is our savior.
