14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Mark 1:14-15 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
The time was right, the prophesies fulfilled
To usher in the living God on earth,
And there was God Himself midst crowds that milled,
The perfect Son of Man of virgin birth.
He said with joy “I’ve got good news for you!
A liberation from Mosaic law!
Here’s peace and pardon and salvation, too!
Eternal life by grace, with love and awe!”
“Repent!” He said, “Your sins will I forgive!
Here’s all you have to do: Believe in Me!
I AM the Way, the Truth, My Life I give!
The realm of God’s at hand to set you free!”
If Jesus told you this, would you believe?
He sent me here to ask you to receive.

Matthew 5:17 (NLT) “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. (and did)
2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT) For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. (we are benefitted) HallELuJAH!
But this is something that I am trying to wrap my head around…. John, JESUS’ older cousin, was willing to forfeit his life for the GOSPEL to go forth. Love & Blessings Dorothy
