><>...JESUS CHRIST...><>, Abba The nature of this kingdom is determined by the character of the God whose kingdom it is. The revelation of God lay at the heart of Jesus' teaching. Jesus called Him "Father" and taught His disciples to do the same. But the term that He used when He called God "Father" was Abba <Mark 14:36>, the term of affection that children used when they addressed their father at home or spoke about him to others. It was not unusual for God to be addressed in prayer as "my Father" or "our Father." But it was most unusual for Him to be called Abba. By using this term, Jesus expressed His sense of nearness to God and His total trust in Him. He taught His followers to look to God with the trust that children show when they expect their earthly fathers to provide them with food, clothes, and shelter.

><>...JESUS CHRIST...><>The Lord's Prayer This attitude is especially expressed in the Lord's Prayer, which may be regarded as a brief summary of Jesus' teaching. In this prayer the disciples were taught to pray for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose (the coming of His kingdom) and to ask Him for daily bread, forgiveness of sins, and deliverance from temptation.

><>...JESUS CHRIST...><> In Jesus' healing of the sick and proclamation of good news to the poor, the kingdom of God was visibly present, although it was not yet fully realized. Otherwise, it would not have been necessary for Him to tell His disciples to pray, "Your kingdom come" <Matt. 6:10>. One day, He taught, it would come "with power" <Mark 9:1>, and some of them would live to see that day. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

><>...JESUS CHRIST...><> In the kingdom of God the way to honor is the way of service. In this respect, Jesus set a worthy example, choosing to give service instead of receiving it. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

><>...JESUS CHRIST...><> The death and resurrection of Jesus unleashed the kingdom of God in full power. Through proclamation of the kingdom, liberation and blessing were brought to many more than could be touched by Jesus' brief ministry in Galilee and Judea.

><>...JESUS CHRIST...><> The way of the kingdom-- The ethical teaching of Jesus was part of His proclamation of the kingdom of God. Only by His death and resurrection could the divine rule be established. But even while the kingdom of God was in the process of inauguration during His ministry, its principles could be translated into action in the lives of His followers. The most familiar presentation of these principles is found in the SERMON ON THE MOUNT <Matthew 5--7>, which was addressed to His disciples. These principles showed how those who were already children of the kingdom ought to live. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

><>...JESUS CHRIST...><> The Law of Moses Jesus and the law of Moses-- The people whom Jesus taught already had a large body of ethical teaching in the Old Testament law. But a further body of oral interpretation and application had grown up around the Law of Moses over the centuries. Jesus declared that He had come to fulfill the law, not to destroy it <Matt. 5:17>. But He emphasized its ethical quality by summarizing it in terms of what He called the two great commandments: "You shall love the Lord your God" <Deut. 6:5> and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" <Lev. 19:18>. "On these two commandments," He said, "hang all the Law and the Prophets" <Matt. 22:40>. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)

><>...JESUS CHRIST...><> Jesus did not claim uniqueness or originality for His ethical teaching. One of His purposes was to explain the ancient law of God. Yet there was a distinctiveness and freshness about His teaching, as He declared His authority: "You have heard that it was said... But I say to you" <Matt. 5:21-22>. Only in listening to His words and doing them could a person build a secure foundation for his life <Matt. 7:24-27; Luke 6:46-49>.
