142:1.1 Throughout this month [[Jesus]] or one of [[the apostles]] taught daily in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple temple]. When the [[Passover]] crowds were too great to find entrance to the [[temple]] teaching, [[the apostles]] conducted many teaching [[groups]] outside the [[sacred]] precincts. The burden of their [[message]] was:

*1. The [[kingdom of heaven]] is at hand.
*2. By [[faith]] in the [[fatherhood]] of [[God]] you may enter the kingdom of heaven, thus becoming the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40 sons of God].
*3. [[Love]] is the rule of living within [[the kingdom]]—[[supreme]] [[devotion]] to God while loving your [[neighbor]] as yourself.
*4. [[Obedience]] to the will of [[the Father]], yielding the [[fruits of the spirit]] in one's [[personal]] life, is the [[law]] of [[the kingdom]].

142:1.2 The multitudes who came to [[celebrate]] the [[Passover]] heard this teaching of [[Jesus]], and hundreds of them rejoiced in the good news. The chief [[priests]] and rulers of the [[Jews]] became much concerned about [[Jesus]] and his [[apostles]] and [[debated]] among themselves as to what should be done with them.

142:1.3 Besides teaching in and about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple temple], [[the apostles]] and other believers were [[engaged]] in doing much [[personal]] work among the [[Passover]] throngs. These interested men and women carried the news of [[Jesus]]' [[message]] from this [[Passover]] [[celebration]] to the uttermost parts of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_empire Roman Empire] and also to [[the East]]. This was the beginning of the spread of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] to the outside world. No longer was the [[work]] of [[Jesus]] to be confined to [[Palestine]].
