Jesus did not speak His own words, but the words that the Father gave Him (John 8:38-42; 12:49-50; 14:24). His message was not primarily about Himself, but rather the good news that the Father ordained to be announced on earth. While Jesus Christ was categorically the most important individual ever to walk this earth, the Bible shows clearly that the gospel that Jesus brought was not simply about Himself. Read His statements, and prove this for yourself:

Preaching the gospel of the kingdom, (Matthew 4:23)
Preaching the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 9:35)
Preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15)
Preach the kingdom of God (Luke 4:43)
Preaching and bringing the glad tidings [gospel] of the kingdom of God. (Luke 8:1)
Kingdom of God has been preached, (Luke 16:16-17)
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world (Matthew 24:14)

The inspired Word of God makes it abundantly plain: The “good news” that Jesus Christ brought was about the Kingdom of God! The “gospel of Jesus Christ” is simply the message of good news that Jesus preached--not a message about Jesus. It is not primarily a message about the events in His life and of His becoming the Savior of the world--although it most certainly does include all that. But if the events of His life are not seen in the context of what He said, the resulting “faith” will be full of error and ultimately disastrous!

The announcement of “good news”-the very best news that could be heard today-which the Father gave through Jesus Christ, was about His Kingdom being established on earth.
