John 12:49-50
Where did Christ's message originate? Jesus spoke only what His Father in heaven told Him to speak! Thus, our Messiah, Jesus Christ, was a Messenger from God the Father, bringing the message of God's plan for all mankind, the message of the New Covenant (Malachi 3:1). The gospel of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the gospel of the Kingdom are the same gospel! It originated in God, was proclaimed by His Son, and tells of the coming rule of God and our part in it!
Though Jesus could have avenged Himself with legions of angels, He submitted to those in authority because He submitted to God the Father in all things. While on earth, Jesus remained under the Father's authority, speaking only what His Father told Him to speak. God's Spirit enables believers to submit to all authority and always wants to submit and give authority, whereas Satan's spirit wants to take authority. Christ's message originated with the Father; Jesus was God's Messenger, bringing the message of God's plan for all mankind, the New Covenant (Malachi 3:1). The gospels of God, of Jesus, and of the Kingdom are one gospel, originating in God, proclaimed by His Son, and telling of God's coming rule.
