The Gospel Jesus preached
Luke 20 is one of many passages that talk about Jesus preaching the Gospel, "One day as he was teaching the people in the temple courts and preaching the gospel . . ." This of course is before His death and resurrection. So what was the gospel Jesus was preaching.
In reading through all that is recorded that Jesus said, it makes me wonder. If Jesus were to come back to earth in person today what gospel would he preach? Would his message basically be the same one it was 2000 years ago, would it be different? Would it be anything close to the messages I preach?
I guess so often we major on minor things in the bible. We prefer Paul's words over Jesus' because Jesus said some hard things. Things that make me wonder about myself.

I'm sure He wouldn't be preaching to merely have people ask Him into their hearts so that they can keep them selves out of hell. He's gospel is sooo much more than that. The church needs to see that.
