Excerpt from The Teaching of Jesus Concerning the Kingdom of God, and the Church In the body of our Lord's teaching as recorded in the Gospels the references to the kingdom of God occupy a prominent place. According to the common testimony of the Synoptical Gospels Jesus opened his public ministry in Galilee with the announcement, that the kingdom was at hand, Matt. iv. 17; Mk. i. 15; Lk. iv. 43. In the last mentioned passage he even declares that the main purpose of his mission consists in the preaching of the good tidings of the kingdom of God.

Vos is especially helpful in explaining the objective nature of the kingdom and its relationship to the church. -The Gospel Coalition "Fewer works on the kingdom of God have been so helpful and yet so overlooked."- ExegeticalTools.com Discover why Jesus's teaching about the Kingdom cannot be separated from what he demands of His church Examing the Kingdom's relationship to the church from the Biblical Theology perspective, Vos shows why the two are inseparable related theologically and how the gospel writers display this in the ways they structure Jesus' teachings. Drawing on his many talents, Vos illuminates how the church finds its moral ground in the Kingdom and shows why the two must go together and cannot be separated into merely ethics or mere theology. They come together in the church's obedience to Christ's Kingdom call.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Jesus, Concerning the Christian Life He was right. Some men do not give religion any place in their lives. They think they can do without it. They have other aims which they consider higher, or to which they give more care ful attention. Others seek religion and hold it in esteem, but they do not make it the principal thing. They think more of something else. Religion has a place in their lives, as they suppose, but it is a low place, an Obscure corner. It does not come to the front. But those who give religion no place or a low place in their lives not only act contrary to their own reason and higher impulses, but they violate the Whole spirit of revelation, and especially the definite and repeated teachings and commands and expostula tions of Jesus.
