Ministry Of Christ
The Ministry of Christ refers to the period during which Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament, engaged in teaching, healing, and proclaiming the Kingdom of God. This ministry is often broken down into several key components: His public preaching, the miracles He performed, the disciples He trained, and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Jesus' ministry began at about the age of thirty, marked by His baptism by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:13-17), and lasted approximately three years until His crucifixion.Central to the Ministry of Christ is the message of salvation and redemption, emphasizing the grace of God and the availability of eternal life through faith in Him (John 3:16). His teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), reflect a new understanding of righteousness and the nature of God’s Kingdom. Additionally, the ministry included acts of compassion, such as healing the sick (Matthew 4:24), feeding the hungry (John 6:1-14), and offering forgiveness to sinners (Luke 5:20-24). Christ's ministry ultimately culminated in His sacrificial death and resurrection, which established the foundation for Christian faith and practice, as highlighted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), where He instructed His followers to spread the gospel to all nations.
