Jesus’s Ministry in Capernaum

November 26, 2023 AM, Luke 4:31-44.

Our Scripture reading was Esther 4:1ff

The more directly applicable part of this section is about Jesus’s teaching. 'I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also' Since He had to, we have to. As I have said oft before, we may not have all the same details he had, like the kingdom is immediately at hand. But we do have the same basic idea—unless one is born again by repentant faith, that one will not enter, experience, or enjoy the kingdom of God when it comes in the future. Jesus has 'all authority in heaven and on earth' (Matt. 28:19). He has delegated some of that to His church to carry on His work.
