Topics connected to this plan

The Good News Jesus Announced
Before "gospel" named a book, it was an announcement: God is coming to reign and rescue. Trace that good news from Isaiah's herald on the mountains to the four accounts of Jesus.
Fasting in the Bible
Fasting in the Bible is going without food to turn toward God with urgency. From Esther's three-day fast to Jesus in the wilderness, it pairs hunger with prayer and humility rather than performance.
Forgiveness
In the New Testament, forgiveness is something received from God and then handed on to others. These passages tie the two together so closely that Jesus makes the second the proof of the first.
Repentance
Repentance in the New Testament is less about feeling bad and more about turning: changing direction because God's kingdom has come near. Trace it from Jesus' first sermon to Peter's altar call and Paul's letters.
