Preach Jesus

Preachers in Acts preached the Lord Jesus (Acts 11:20). Paul decided to know nothing “except Jesus and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). We are to preach Jesus, His teachings, His life as our example, His death, His resurrection and His ascension to heaven, where “He always lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25).

Preaching Jesus to the Ethiopian treasurer included preaching baptism (Acts 8:35-38). When the Ephesians “learned Christ,” they learned a more moral and holy lifestyle, different from the pagans (Ephesians 4:17-20).

Biblical preaching how husbands and wives are to treat each other (Ephesians 5:22-23), conduct in the workplace (Colossians 3:22-24), responding to unjust suffering (1 Peter 2:21) or being kind, gentle and forgiving (Ephesians 4:32) is all related to Christ.

Preachers can neglect other essential things, but no one can preach Jesus too much.
