Jesus’ early ministry marks the arrival of God’s kingdom on earth — a decisive moment in history where the true King breaks through enemy lines with unmatched authority. Through his spiritual victory over Satan, power over evil and disease, cleansing of the unclean, and urgent call to discipleship, Jesus reveals that the kingdom of God has come near. His authority demands a wholehearted, immediate response, as he alone has the power to defeat darkness, restore what is broken, and call people into his eternal kingdom.
