NT-513 Gospel

1. Identify the key features of Jesus’ ministry which are agreed on by almost everyone.

One of the key features is the prophetic ministry of John the Baptist is the Baptism of

Jesus. In John's ministry, he preached about the final judgment of God and urged Christ

followers to be baptized and repent so that they could prepare for God's judgment. However,

many people agree on the prophetic ministry of John the Baptist because even Jesus Himself was

among the receiver of his rite of baptism (Strauss, 2011). People agree with this ministry because

they believed that John the Baptist told the truth, and this was clear since he kept his life at risk

for the sake of love. John played a significant role in preparing people for the first arrival of the

messiah. This was through his preaching about repentance and conversion, which is later echoed

in the bible.

The second feature is Jesus preaching about the kingdom of God and the healing

ministry. Everyone has a goal of seeking the kingdom of God. Therefore, through the Gospel or

the good news brought by Jesus, people can seek God's kingdom by practicing the teachings of

the Gospel. However, concerning the healing ministry of Jesus, he did refer to the sick and those

who were considered outcasts. People believe that Jesus can heal the heartbroken and bind up

their wounds.

The third feature articulated by john the Baptist is the Reports of Christ resurrection, this

is also articulated by His disciples. It happened when Jesus appeared to all His disciples on

mount Galilee. Here, he claimed authority over heaven and earth, which is fulfilled today. Jesus

had the power over heaven when he sat on God's right hand and had control over the earth

because he says that he is the way, the truth, and the life (Strauss, 2011). Therefore, human

beings will not go to God except through Him. Moreover, he ordered his disciples to continue

preaching the Gospel to reach everyone across the world.

2. Between what years was Jesus born? Who was reigning in Israel at the time?

Jesus Christ was born around 4 to 6 BC in Bethlehem. During the reign of King Herod,

the Great, who ordered the murder of all the infants in Bethlehem because he wanted to get rid of

baby Jesus (Strauss, 2011). His parents, Joseph and Mary, fled him to Egypt to avoid these

predicaments. After the death of King Herod, it is when Jesus's family returned to their Home in

Nazareth, where Jesus lived until he was thirty years. This time he was ready to start his ministry

teaching people about the good news and repentance for the forgiveness of sins as introduced by

John the Baptist.

3. About how old was Jesus when his public ministry began? How do we know this?

Jesus began his public ministry when he was 30 to 33 years. This occurred either from

AD 27 to 30 or AD 30 to 33. Before the age of 30, he was Perhaps studying the holy scriptures,

and he discussed them with his fellows (Strauss, 2011). Also, before age 30, he possibly taught

his fellow informally. At age30, he was baptized by John the Baptist in water and then the Holy

Spirit came upon him…. His baptism meant that he was now ready to start his preaching

ministry and spread the word of God through repentance and forgiveness.

We know about how Jesus discussed the scripture and taught his fellow from the book of

Luke, which records that Jesus was involved in deep conversation with the spiritual teachers in

the temple of Jerusalem when he was twelve years young. We also know when Jesus' public

ministry began because it is written in Luke 3:23, he was about 30 years old when he began to

preach (Strauss, 2011). The other way that we know about when Jesus began his public ministry
