Day 4-Jesus Begins His Ministry
Day 4-Jesus Begins His Ministry
Jesus begins His ministry in the northern region of Israel called Galilee. The town of Capernaum, on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, becomes His unofficial headquarters; a significant amount of His ministry happens in and around here. It is from this area where He selects His 12 Apostles; they were all Galilean men, save Judas Iscariot, who was believed to be Judean. Jesus begins preaching from town to town “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”, the same message that gets John the Baptist thrown in prison by the religious leaders. This is an ominous foreshadowing of the conflict Jesus will also have with the religious leaders from Jerusalem. Jesus performs great miracles all along the Galilean countryside. His first miracle, turning water into wine for a wedding, takes place in Cana of Galilee, a small village just north of where He grew up in Nazareth.
