What is the gospel? A great tragedy today (even among professing Christians) is not knowing what the gospel of Jesus Christ is. In this Christmas sermon on Matthew 4:23 titled “The Gospel of the Kingdom,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches on the message that frames the beginning and end of the Lord Jesus’s ministry. By looking at both Matthew 4:23 and 24:14, he explores the message of the gospel from the perspective of the kingdom of God. Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds that the greatness of the gospel is the good news of God’s kingdom (or His rule and reign). People are often guilty of reducing the gospel to subjective terms such as personal happiness or peace. They often start with themselves and end with themselves. But as Dr. Lloyd-Jones teaches, the gospel of the kingdom reminds that the whole world is involved in God’s redemption. The good news of the kingdom reminds that the Son of God came to this earth not to simply make people respectable, but to make them obedient to God. This obedience to the King brings Him glory. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones answers the most important question of all: why was it necessary for Jesus Christ to come into the world?
This sermon was preached when I was 4 years old and MLJ was about 64 years old . What a blessing it is to hear this great preacher in 2024 -60 years later- when I am now 64 years old !
Now I fully and humbly understood the Gospel of the Kingdom of God....
Thank You FATHER for giving us pastors who will feed us with the knowledge and understanding of Your Kingdom, according to Your Heart🙏🙏🙏
“And when the gospel has been proclaimed throughout all the world…” I just listened to this great teacher on my cell phone as I traveled to and from work. SpaceX is completely enveloping the earth with a constellation of satellites, and will soon bring the internet to even the most remote places. Soon, literally everyone will be able to hear the gospel proclaimed by the very best preachers and teachers of our time. I wonder how much longer before He returns?
