What was the message that Jesus came to share with the world? What was it that Jesus seemed to always be talking about? What was the gospel he preached, embodied and then sent his disciples out to proclaim? Many seem to believe Jesus' message was primarily about information on how to go to heaven after you die. A read through the gospels and the book of Acts, however, reveals something far more beautiful and expansive than that.
