CONTENTS

In the few years since the publication of Jesus the King (originally titled Kings Cross), Ive spoken to people who, in seeking to present and recommend Christianity to someone, prefer this book over another volume I wrote, The Reason for God. I agree. Christianity is Jesus Christ, in a way that Islam is not Muhammad, nor Buddhism Buddha. Other religions were founded by teachers who pointed to a body of truth, and a way to find life, but Jesus says I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And so any book that simply summarizes the beliefs of Christianity cannot get us as close to the heart of it as a sustained look at Jesus himself.

I also believe that before many people will pay close attention to a case for why Christianity is true, they should first be brought to see why they might want it to be true. And there is no more rightful way to make Christianity deeply attractive than to display Jesus in all his wisdom, power, gentleness, and beauty. So ultimately I would say that this book and Reason are complementary. They need each other.

It is quite appropriate that this study guide should be written to facilitate group discussion of both Jesus the King and the Gospel of Mark. My book was based on a series of sermons preached on Sunday mornings at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City during 2006 and 2007. However, long before that, I wrote a series of Bible studies that my wife and I used for several years to lead weekly discussion groups.

There we came to trust that the straightforward accounts of what Jesus said and did have a remarkable power to work upon people. We didnt have to lecture, expound, and expostulate at length. Indeed, we learned a lot as members of our groups pointed out things in the text we had not noticed. The later sermons were filled with insights from those experiences of learning about Jesus in community. Peoples lives changed as they came into contact with Jesus the King.

Im delighted that through this study guide that kind of experience will become available to so many others. And Im grateful to be collaborating with Spence Shelton, whose experience as a pastor and study author with a deep understanding of the real-world dynamics of the gospel make him an excellent guide to this book.

Tim Keller, November, 2014

READING ASSIGNMENT

Mark 1:1 20 and chapters Before, 1, and 2 of Jesus the King by Timothy Keller

[Your Notes]

INTRODUCTION

THE BIG IDEA

The gospel is not good advice; its a summons to follow a king.

THE CALL TO REPENT AND BELIEVE

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. (Mark 1:15 ESV)

T he first words Mark records from Jesus mouth, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand, define the message and actions that will unfold in the rest of the book. Jesus bursts onto the scene not with a new code of ethics but with a news bulletin about a new reality.

Thats why Jesus calls his message gospel, which literally means good news. In Jesus day, this was not just any daily news but life-altering news. A gospel was so important it would hold the front pages of the news outlets for weeks. Whatever Jesus is declaring demands our full attention, and Mark reinforces this by putting it front and center: The kingdom of God is at hand. Mark builds the body of his whole story from this headline. Every move Jesus makes, as recorded by Mark, illustrates for his readers that the kingdom of God a new regime of perfect, healing leadership over the world is near. Jesus healings, his exorcisms, his mercy, his miracles, his authority over nature, his sacrifice, and his defeat of death are all filling out the story of this kingdom Jesus is announcing.
