What Is God Doing?-Continue with The Damaging Effects of Sin

A builder is chosen who will follow the blueprints and perform the restoration.

Jesus was the promised Messiah who would follow the pattern that was set by the Israelites' sacrifices and would give his own life to redeem mankind.  Indeed, John the Baptizer called Jesus "the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world."  (John 1:29)  Jesus willing accepted the assignment. He stated:  "I have come down from heaven to do, not my will, but the will of him that sent me." -JOHN 6:38.

God's will for Jesus included that he not only would "give his soul a ransom in exchange for many"  but also would make a covenant  with his followers for a  Kingdom.  (Matthew 20:28; Luke  22:29, 30)  That Kingdom is the means by which God will accomplish his purpose for mankind.  The message about God's Kingdom is called "good news" because it explains that God has set up his government in heaven to take control of earth's  affairs! - MATTHEW 24:14; DANIEL 2:44.
