Study Notes
Ministry in Galilee
- G.K. Chesterton proposed a mind game to grasp the early days of Jesus' ministry in Galilee.
- Imagine someone with a mind open to the possibility that the events described really happened.
- For such a person, reading the Gospels, would not immediately lead to belief.
- There's no solution except in belief.
- Matthew's Gospel sums up Jesus' actions as He went about all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and healing every disease among the people.
- Jesus’s fame spread through Syria.
- People were brought to Jesus with various diseases and pains, and he healed them.
- Great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan.
- The time was ripe for someone like Jesus to appear.
