Dumbrell speaks on the connection between the kingdom of God and the gospel in Mark 1:14-15 and 2:10. The announcement that “the time is fulfilled” is tied to John the Baptist’s ministry of preparation. The gospel proclaims God’s kingship exercised through Jesus. Repentance and belief are responses to the arrival of the King. The kingdom of God is best understood as God’s ruling activity rather than simply the realm over which He rules. Although Jesus announces the kingdom, He is reluctant to identify Himself directly as king. Instead, in Mark 2:10 He introduces His designated title, “Son of Man,” a title consistently associated in the Gospels with authority and judgment. Central to this authority is the power to forgive sins. The gospel is inseparably tied to both forgiveness and judgment of sin, proclaimed as a present reality. One’s response to the gospel, then, determines their ultimate destiny. Although God is king, the world fails to respond properly to His kingship.
