Ministry of Christ - c. 27 A.D. - c. 30 A.D.
When Jesus began His ministry on earth, He was around 30 years of age. His ministry was different from any other person who had ever had a ministry before. His ministry was marked by miracles, teaching with authority and confrontations with those who opposed the Gospel.
Jesus had a group of people that He was training called 'disciples'. They were learning from Him and they received power also to heal the sick, raise the dead, and do miracles. They also preached the Gospel in various places in Israel.
There were many people who followed Jesus, and were interested in hearing Him teach or receive healing. There were also people who did not like what Jesus was teaching. They were not happy to hear about the cost of being a disciple of Christ. Many of them openly opposed Jesus.
Many of the Jewish people did not accept Jesus as their Messiah. They were expecting someone to come on the scene who was rich and powerful, and who would deliver their country from the Roman rule, not someone who came from a lowly social standing. They also did not like the message concerning their sin, and their need for a Savior.
