Go, Proclaim the Good News - Matthew 10:1-15

The Jews were waiting for the Messiah to usher in His Kingdom. They hoped for a political and military kingdom that would free them from Roman rule and bring back the days of glory under David and Solomon. But Jesus was talking about a spiritual Kingdom. The Good News today is that the Kingdom is still near. Jesus, the Messiah, had already begun his Kingdom on earth in the hearts of His followers. One day the Kingdom will be fully realized. Then evil will be destroyed and all people will live in peace with one another.
