When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went to Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled: Land of Zebulun and land Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen. From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Consideration: Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." These words spoken by Jesus were true then and are true today. The world is in turmoil, sinfulness has become common place, and lawlessness has found its way to the leadership of nations. There is only one direction for mankind to take: With sincere humility, we must repent of all that is antichrist in our lives; seek out the mercy of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and live for the glory of God's Kingdom here on earth. Peace!
