Jesus teachings most common theme was not salvation
It was not about getting to Heaven.
Nor was it about the rapture and being saved.
It was nearly always about the better way of being.
It was nearly always about the different way of being.
It was always about the Kingdom of God.
John the Baptist a mentor of his cousin Jesus said this about the saviour..." The kingdom of heaven is at hand".
We discovered as frontier youth workers that the kingdom values where what we should be living as being part of. Therefore promoting a moral compass to the society we are living among.
We are meant to be sharing the gospel. However we can. Using as l often say whatever medium we can engaging, discussing debating but not arguing.
Those following Jesus are the chosen people with the exact same message as Jesus, to shows God's Love and be concerned about the vulnerable, the poor, be alongside the oppressed
That's deep deep theology and it's constant working all this stuff into individual life's, improve community, change society.
