23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. 25Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.
Just reflecting on how amazing Jesus must have been. It wasn't like there was a Tweet that went out or some 24hr news reporting, Instagram pics yet somehow news of Jesus spread like wild fire. He was different and people noticed it.
Spin it forward and even though our world is often a mess it is still amazing to me that the book written 2000 years ago is still relevant today and now from mega churches to my little church its message can and is shared globally in the blink of an eye.
Amazing.

It is amazing. Completely mind-boggling, actually!
ReplyDeleteIts also funny that they didn't have any of the "stuff" we have. No cell phones, cars, big houses, tvs, boats, any of it....and yet the message written then, still speaks to what is the most important to us...and our success. It just goes to show you that for all of of "man's advancements" in technology and industry, the real root of our existance is the same as it was back then. The love of God, the love of others, and the word of God.
It is amazing!
