What confession did the gospel of the kingdom precipitate?
The gospel of the kingdom precipitated the confession, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' This meant He is the Messiah coming to fulfill the third part of that covenant as the King Redeemer, the prophet and priest, acknowledged by faith as the Christ.
Les explains that the gospel of the kingdom precipitated the confession, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' That confession identified Him as the Messiah coming to fulfill the third part of the covenant—the King Redeemer, the prophet and priest. In John 11, Martha gave a similar confession of faith: 'Yea, Lord, I believe thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' The text notes she did not say He should come into the world, die for her, and be raised from the dead.
