BLOG POSTING, WEEK OF AUG 25, 2025: JESUS' GOSPEL
If the base line message of the Bible is “Fear (good kind) and Do” then I can start looking at the specifics of what Jesus taught to see, like Peter clearly saw, if it matches. Does his good news, his “proclamation of liberty” match what the Father wants? A search of the four Gospels yields an amazing 70 or so “do” or “do not” type verses! I can post the list if anyone wants. Typical is Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.” And it is implanted, as again seems typical, in a section that relates the doing or not doing to: the Father’s awareness; the Father’s concern; and the Father’s provision.
Here is one picked at random from the 70, Luke 14:13 “When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.” It is tied to being repaid at the resurrection of the just, with the implication that the Father is aware, and the Father will repay.
Here is another one picked at random, Mark 1:17 “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Not much there, and before Jesus Rabbi College started, but random pick it is. It does lead shortly to, “I know who you are—the Holy One of God" which absolutely points to the Father and the coming fulfillment of His promises.
Please read the Gospels through for yourselves, but here is how I summarize Jesus message to those in the Abrahamic Covenant. Trust in the Father's Covenant provision and acceptance, and live per the terms of that Covenant. He loves you. He wants you. And I’m here to prove it. It is NOT about works, but relationship.
Yup, it matches what the Father wants.
