Lesson 5 - A Kingdom of Grace, Mercy and Peace

After describing His Kingdom in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus began to demonstrate its power. He healed many — among them a leper, the servant of a despised Roman centurion, a paralytic, and two Gentile men tormented by demons. He calmed a violent storm for His disciples and spoke strong words to would-be-followers and offended Pharisees. This, He said, is the Kingdom He came to bring — a new covenant of grace, mercy and peace for all who would receive it.
