Jesus's life and ministry is one of the most significant events in human history. In this 3 minute overview we will give you a brief glimpse into what it really means to follow Jesus and why so many have given up everything to do so.
Introduction to the Gospel
The Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ. It is the story of God’s love for humanity and His plan to save us from our sin. The Gospel is also the story of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. This event changed everything, giving hope to all who believe.
The word “gospel” means “good news.” It is the message of salvation that God offers to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. The Gospel is not just a set of beliefs or principles; it is good news that can change your life forever.
When we understand and accept the Gospel, our lives are transformed. We are given new life in Christ and become part of His family. We are forgiven, healed, and made whole. We have hope for the future and eternal life with God.
Who Were the Disciples?
The twelve disciples were a group of men who followed Jesus during his ministry. They were also some of his closest friends and companions. The word “disciple” simply means “learner” or “follower.”

Still others were religious scholars, like Nicodemus. But they all had one thing in common: they had each decided to put their trust in Jesus and follow him as their Lord and Savior.
During his three-year ministry, Jesus taught the disciples many things. He taught them about God’s love, about forgiveness, about how to pray, and about how to live a life that is pleasing to God. He also showed them by example what it means to be a servant of others.

During these appearances he continued to teach them about the kingdom of God. Finally, he ascended into heaven, leaving the disciples behind to carry on his work.
