<p>4:23&nbsp;And<i> Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people- &quot;</i>Went about&hellip; teaching&hellip; preaching&hellip; healing&quot; is just what we read of the Lord's followers doing in Acts. The preaching of the apostles (and of ourselves) continues the personal work of the Lord in whom they lived and moved, and therefore often Acts records the preaching work in language lifted from Luke as well as the other Gospel records (e.g. Acts 4:2; 5:12-16 = Mt. 4:23).&nbsp;</p>
<p>The preaching of the Kingdom is made parallel to preaching the time of acceptance with God and forgiveness of sins&nbsp;<i>now</i>&nbsp;(Lk. 4:43 cp. 19, 2 Cor. 6:2); Rom. 14:17, which seems to teach that the Kingdom of God is more about &quot;peace and joy in the Holy Spirit&quot;, both now and eternally, than physical, tangible things. Christ's parables about the Kingdom don't speak of a political Kingdom, but rather about the relationship between God and the believer in the here and now.&nbsp;</p>
