| Summary: | "The time has come; the kingdom of God is upon you; repent and believe the good news" (Mk 1:15). With these words Jesus of Nazareth inaugurated his public minis- try of proclaiming the good news of the salvific presence of God in the world. Here we find the programmatic summary of Jesus' message. These words encapsulate the whole mission of the Messiah. Jesus states concisely the method of appropriating the Kingdom of God to oneself: repent and believe. The first act inevitably leads to the second. Indeed, it implies the other act. The call to believe does not form part of the original proclamation of Jesus. It distinctly echoes. the language of the preaching of the primitive church (cf.Acts 11: 17f; 20 : 21). Hence it is probable that the invitation to believe the good news found place in the Gospel according to Mark as an explanatory kerygmatic note of the early Christian tradition. The call to repentance formed the core of Jesus' proclamation (cf. Mt 21: 11; Lk.7:16). |
