One of the most consistent themes in the New Testament is that Jesus is the Christ or King. Jesus is King and he proclaimed the gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus often said things like, “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15). For Jesus, the “good news” is the proclamation of the coming kingdom of God. In fact, the Bible summarizes the entire message of Jesus as “the good news of the kingdom” (Matthew 4:23; Luke 4:43; Acts 8:12; 28:31). The word kingdom isn’t used frequently anymore. Today we talk about nations and countries more than kingdoms. But king- dom (Greek: basileia) still has value when talking about the gospel, because it includes the word king (basileus): the one who shapes the vision and values of the kingdom. So what does Jesus’ kingdom look like? And why is this good news?
