Abstract
The purpose of the research. The objective of this study is an attempt to prove the importance of the teachings of Jesus Christ in matters of theoretical and practical study of public administration and politics in general in the leading secular states living according to the principles of modern liberalism, as well as to demonstrate the presence of political motives in the teachings of the founder of Christianity. Results. In the course of the study, conclusions were drawn that the teachings of Jesus are not devoid of a political component. The gospels, when properly interpreted, provide the world with a great deal of valuable political information about the teachings of Jesus, which can complement scientific knowledge in the study of government and politics in general.
