The First Word Jesus Mentioned When He Started Preaching by jesusjnr2020(op): 7:32am On Oct 05, 2025
The First Word Jesus Mentioned When He Started Preaching

"Repent"!

Matthew 4:17 (KJV)

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Not surprising because Jesus Himself said He came to call sinners to repentance. Luke 5:32.

God bless.

This was also what all the old time prophets and apostles of Jesus preached.

They all told people to repent and turn away from their sin.

The message hasn't changed up til this very day.

Any preacher or church leader that doesn't warn people to repent or turn away from sin has left the original message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

God bless.

Oh sure, because who wouldn’t want to repent on an empty stomach, right? I mean, it’s not like someone who’s struggling to get by would bother with deep soul-searching when they’re too busy just trying to survive. Jesus was obviously onto something; feeding the hungry first before dropping those life-changing sermons is just genius. Maybe if churches threw in a nice meal before the sermon, we'd have a line out the door for repentance. 🤣 Who knew the secret formula was just a plate of food? What a revelation 👊

Very true.

Repent!

Because he preached amongst a Reprobate Nation! Israel!

They follow Man's Tradition in place a God's Commandments.

They choose what to believe and what to caste aside from God's Commandments.

They hope in false things, read their own meanings into an otherwise plain scriptures.

Repent! Repent! Repent!

Why?

The same scenario Jesus preached against still holds today...

Jesus doesn't matter. No more character. Seun and his cronies just edit css and feeling like they have done something
Re: The First Word Jesus Mentioned When He Started Preaching by Jeezuzpick(m): 10:34am On Oct 05, 2025
Guess what?

What do we need the most in the Church today?

Still the same thing!

Genuine repentance.

So choose the ones that you feel still stick to the original message and repent. No excuses grin. Forget about the speck or log in the eyes of others for now and remove the one in yours. Jesus said so. Original message

It's not about the denominations. If they like, let them preach something else. It neither changes GOD nor His standard. Let GOD be true and all men, liars.

Great words and indeed the world must repent from its wickedness. And be saved.

Remember God is love.

your perspective is both misleading and inaccurate, if a full stomach guarantees repentance why don’t rich people repent and preach the word of God?

With all the bible and church and mosque Nigerians prioritize over any thing else, it's so shocking to see that Nigeria is one of the worst performing nations in the world. Financially and morally.

Nations like Saudi Arabia has no church but they are doing way better than Nigeria.

China is not a Christian country but you can't compare Nigeria to her.

Isn't it time we let go of the hand of religion?

Thanks for sharing

That's a nice reminder of 2 key elements of the Gospel message:

1. Repentance

2. The Kingdom of Heaven...

He was asking them questions n listening to them preach

He didn't start teaching until he was baptised by John...He took over from where John stopped, no wonder they compared him with John

If you think what he said is otherwise, use the Bible to verify. If you're really a Christian, you need to rid yourself of such mockery attitudes. However, if you are not kindly ignore.
