Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” New International Version
Matthew 4:17 From then on Jesus began to preach,“Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” 23 Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. New Living Translation
“God’s own “kingdom,” or “rule,” is the range of his effective will, where what he wants done is done.” - Dallas Willard
Matthew 4:23 Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 24 News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all. New Living Translation
Matthew 13:31 Here is another illustration Jesus used: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.” New Living Translation
Matthew 13:33 Jesus also used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” New Living Translation
