A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The thread running through the Old and New Testament is the ‘Good news’ of a kingdom to be established upon the Earth, with Jesus Christ, son of God and son of David ruling in righteousness. We all have the freedom to choose to be associated with him and receive everlasting life, or reject the offer, and be without hope.

Summary
