The overall look and feel of God’s Kingdom became clearer through Jesus’ teachings. However, there were times when circumstances arose where, acting completely within society’s norms, the disciples unknowingly ran afoul of an aspect of the Kingdom’s character. The response, on Jesus’ part, was quick and to the point. By the time of Jesus’ crucifixion, those men had amassed quite a storehouse of knowledge regarding God’s Kingdom.
