Jesus Welcomed by the Gentiles—Teaching in Eastern Palestine (Part 7)

Jesus put the spirit of positive action into the passive doctrines of the Jewish religion. In the place of negative compliance with ceremonial requirements, Jesus enjoined the positive doing of that which his new religion required of those who accepted it. Jesus’ religion consisted not merely in ''believing'', but in actually ''doing'', those things which the gospel required. The reading encompassed Paper 159:5-6, p. 1769
