Sample message from the Gospel of Matthew

After His time in the wilderness, Jesus began touring different cities in Israel, preaching to strangers everywhere: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." This became His tag line, His condensed message.

Repent means to change your course - to stop going in the direction you are headed, and begin moving in a new direction. But His message is deeper still: repent BECAUSE the kingdom of heaven is near. Maybe these people have repented lots of times - to no avail. It didn't stick. They always ended up back in the same sinful habits and spiritual ruts. But Jesus was telling them there was a new deal now. Repenting worked now! Why? Because the kingdom of heaven was near.
